In 2024, Belgium continued to rely heavily on imports of sorbic acid, with China, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and the USA being the top exporting countries. Despite a significant decline in the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2020-2024 at -9.87%, the market concentration, as indicated by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), remained very high. The negative growth rate of -22.23% from 2023-2024 suggests challenges in the sorbic acid import market in Belgium, potentially impacted by various factors such as global supply chain disruptions or changing consumer preferences.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
