Belgium continues to be a key destination for polyurethane (PU) sole import shipments, with top exporters in 2024 being Spain, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Austria. Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating market concentration, the industry experienced a sharp decline with a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -8.1% from 2020 to 2024. The growth rate in 2024 plummeted even further to -27.2%, reflecting challenging market conditions. Stakeholders should closely monitor these trends and adapt their strategies to navigate the changing landscape in the PU sole import market in Belgium.
