The import of diols (excluding ethylene and propylene glycol) to Japan shows a slight downward trend from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 37.904 million kilograms in 2024, there is a gradual annual decrease, reaching 37.777 million kilograms by 2028. This slight reduction, reflected in the consistent year-on-year decrease, indicates a steady decline over the period despite variations being minimal. Unfortunately, the data for 2023 is not provided, so no comparison or in-depth analysis with the previous year can be made.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in demand driven by changes in industrial applications and environmental regulations affecting production and imports. Monitoring technological advancements and global trade policies might also reveal new opportunities or challenges in the diols market.
