In 2023, Germany led European imports of polyethylene glycols and other polyether alcohols in primary forms, followed by Italy and Belgium. The overall import growth was modest, with Belgium, Spain, and Romania experiencing higher growth rates, and Ireland witnessing significant double-digit growth. Conversely, France, Slovenia, and Croatia saw minor declines. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years suggests modest but steady expansion, with notable growth in Greece and Lithuania.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of sustainability initiatives and regulatory changes on import volumes, and technological advancements improving production efficiencies. Emerging markets such as Eastern Europe may gain more prominence in the import landscape.
