Despite a decline in growth rate in 2024, Belgium continues to import significant quantities of agar, with top exporters being Morocco, Spain, Italy, Chile, and the Netherlands. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, suggesting that these top exporting countries have a strong foothold in the Belgian agar import market. The negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2020-2024 reflects challenges in the industry, while the further decline in growth rate from 2023-2024 emphasizes the need for strategic adjustments to stimulate market growth and competitiveness.

Belgium's Agar market is anticipated to experience a growing growth rate of 7.41% by 2027, reflecting trends observed in the largest economy Germany, followed by United Kingdom, France, Italy and Russia.
