Italy leads European exports of polyurethanes in primary forms with a volume of 476.42 million kilograms in 2024, experiencing slight contraction compared to 2023. Germany follows with 414.7 million kilograms, benefiting from a modest increase. Many countries have shown significant declines or even cessation of exports, such as France, Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom, while notable growth is observed in countries like Finland, Lithuania, and Greece. Poland and Romania also present positive trends. Over the last five years, there is a mixed performance across the region, with isolated growth in some countries and considerable declines in others.
Future trends to watch include the potential stabilization and recovery in markets that have experienced downturns, alongside growth opportunities in rapidly expanding markets like Finland and Lithuania. Shifts in demand for sustainable and innovative polyurethane products could reshape the European export landscape. Monitoring geopolitical and economic factors is crucial, as these may influence trading patterns and market accessibility.
