In 2024, Belgium continued to be a key destination for expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam import shipments, with top exporting countries being Netherlands, USA, Germany, Metropolitan France, and UK. Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating market concentration, the industry experienced a significant decline with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -7.21% from 2020 to 2024. The growth rate in 2024 further dropped by -29.06%, reflecting a challenging year for EPP foam imports in Belgium. Continued monitoring and strategic adjustments may be necessary to navigate these market dynamics effectively.
