Estonia`s polyoxymethylene import market in 2024 continued to be dominated by key players such as Germany, Sweden, Finland, South Korea, and Latvia. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market structure. With a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.05% from 2020 to 2024 and a notable growth rate of 12.92% from 2023 to 2024, the polyoxymethylene import sector in Estonia shows promising expansion and attractiveness to international exporters.

Polyoxymethylene (POM), or acetal, is a highly durable and rigid thermoplastic material used in precision engineering applications such as automotive parts, electronics, and industrial components. The Estonian POM market is growing as demand for high-strength materials that offer low friction and wear resistance increases. As Estonias manufacturing base modernizes and the automotive and electronics sectors expand, POMs role as a key material for precision and high-performance applications will continue to drive its market growth.
Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, is a high-performance engineering polymer used in automotive, electrical, and mechanical applications. The market in Estonia is expanding due to POM`s excellent mechanical properties, including low friction and high stiffness, making it ideal for precision components in various industries.
Polyoxymethylene (POM) faces challenges in the Estonia market primarily related to cost and environmental concerns. POM, used in automotive, electronics, and consumer goods, requires significant energy for production, making it susceptible to price fluctuations due to energy costs. Additionally, as sustainability becomes a more prominent focus, industries are increasingly looking for alternatives to high-performance thermoplastics like POM, which can be less environmentally friendly due to their non-biodegradable nature. POM manufacturers must innovate to improve recycling efforts and reduce their environmental footprint, which adds additional costs to production.
The polyoxymethylene (POM) market in Estonia is driven by demand for high-performance engineering plastics used in automotive, electronics, and industrial applications. Estonia`s policies support the development of POM products that offer improved durability, strength, and chemical resistance. The government encourages innovation in POM production to reduce environmental impact, including research into recycling and the use of renewable feedstocks in manufacturing.
