The import volume of diols, excluding ethylene and propylene glycol, to the US shows a downward trend over the next five years, starting from 30.929 million kilograms in 2024 to 29.854 million kilograms in 2028. This forecasted decrease represents a year-on-year decline averaging approximately 0.9%. Comparison to 2023, where the volume stood slightly above current forecasts, highlights a consistent reduction.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in global supply chain dynamics or raw material availability that could impact the import levels.
Technological advances or changes in industrial demand affecting the usage of diols in various applications.
Environmental and regulatory influences that could alter production and importation strategies.
