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.
