In 2023, Belgium dominated the European import of butene and its isomers, accounting for over 51% of the share by kilograms. Germany and the Netherlands followed with 14.47% and 14.35%, respectively. Minor variations in imports were observed among most countries, with Denmark showing a significant spike of nearly 60% and Greece increasing by 18.84%. Notably, the United Kingdom saw a significant decline of 17.5% year-on-year. Over the past five years, the average annual growth rate of butene imports has been modest across the region.
Looking ahead, several trends are likely to shape the import landscape. The demand for butene in green technology applications may increase, impacting import volumes. Additionally, geopolitical developments and trade policies could affect the distribution and source countries, as nations continue to adjust strategically for energy security and environmental commitments.
