In 2023, the production of diols and polyhydric alcohols in Germany, excluding ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, D-glucitol, was approximately 832.5 million kilograms. The forecast through 2028 shows a consistent decline, with volumes dropping to 802.73 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -0.67% over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer demand and regulatory changes impacting production and supply chains.
Technological advancements that could improve production efficiencies and offset declining trends.
Emerging markets or sustainability considerations that could influence Germany's production strategy and international competitiveness.
