In 2023, Germany led European production of specialized diols and polyhydric alcohols with substantial output, followed by Spain and Finland. While Germany, France, United Kingdom, Denmark, and Slovakia saw stability, notable growth was recorded in Italy and Lithuania. Finland and Belgium experienced reductions in production levels. Year-over-year variations highlight sporadic growth, with Italy experiencing significant increases amid stable or declining trends elsewhere.
Looking ahead, sustainable production with a high bio-based carbon content is likely to drive growth, particularly in eco-conscious markets like Germany and Italy. Innovations in green chemistry and policy incentives for bio-based products will be influential in shaping production trends across Europe.
