The import volume of 1,2-Dichloroethane to the UK is forecasted to rise steadily from 9.38 million kilograms in 2024 to approximately 11.01 million kilograms in 2028. This steady increase indicates a growing demand for this chemical, largely used in the production of PVC. As of 2023, the import volume was at 9.0 million kilograms, suggesting a stable growth trend in recent years. Year-on-year, the increase is expected to range from 3% to 4%, highlighting a consistent upward trajectory. Over the forecasted five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 3.2%.
Future trends to watch include regulatory changes, especially concerning environmental policies affecting PVC production, which could influence import volumes. Additionally, market dynamics in the chemical industry and potential innovations in recycling could impact demand patterns.
