The import of diols (excluding ethylene and propylene glycol) to Germany is projected to rise from $183.1 million in 2024 to $190.54 million in 2028. This gradual increase indicates a steady year-on-year growth in the import value. The percentage change from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 1.05%, from 2025 to 2026 is about 1.01%, from 2026 to 2027 is roughly 0.98%, and from 2027 to 2028 is around 0.95%. These figures suggest a slight deceleration in growth rate annually. The forecasts indicate a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1% over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential economic fluctuations in European markets that could impact import values and demand stability.
Technological advancements in chemical manufacturing that may affect demand for imported diols.
Regulatory changes affecting chemical imports in response to environmental concerns.
