Despite a significant decline in the CAGR and growth rate for Croatia imports of 1,4-butanediol (BDO), polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), and spandex, the market continued to see high concentration levels in 2024, as evidenced by the top exporting countries being Italy, Turkey, Germany, UK, and Serbia. This suggests a strong market presence for these key players, despite the challenging growth trends. It will be important for stakeholders in the industry to monitor and adapt to these changing dynamics to maintain competitiveness in the Croatian market.
