In 2023, Germany led the European import of polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms (excluding polypropylene), followed by Italy, France, and Belgium. Notable year-on-year growth was seen in Austria and Croatia, with Austria increasing by 5.72% and Croatia by 5.32%. Germany, however, saw a slight decline of 0.53% in its imports.
Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has shown steady increases, particularly in Eastern European countries like Hungary and Romania. Looking ahead, the European market may see shifts due to sustainability policies and innovations in biodegradable polymers. Monitoring geopolitical influences on trade and environmental regulations will be key to understanding future market dynamics.
