In 2024, Finland`s polyethylene film import market continued to see diverse sources, with Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Czechia, and Italy emerging as the top exporting countries. Despite this variety, the market remained characterized by low concentration, as indicated by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood at 0.64%, reflecting steady but moderate expansion. However, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, with a -6.87% decrease, signaling a potential shift in market dynamics that importers should monitor closely.

The polyethylene film market in Finland is growing as polyethylene is widely used in packaging, agricultural films, and construction materials. The material`s versatility, cost-effectiveness, and recyclability contribute to its increasing demand in various applications across industries.
The polyethylene film market in Finland is expanding due to the increasing demand for packaging solutions across sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. Polyethylene films are valued for their flexibility, strength, and cost-effectiveness, and their use in lightweight and protective packaging is driving growth. Sustainability trends also encourage the development of recyclable and biodegradable polyethylene film alternatives.
The Polyethylene Film market in Finland is confronted by concerns over plastic waste, as polyethylene is a widely used yet non-biodegradable material. Consumers and industries are demanding more eco-friendly and recyclable alternatives, forcing manufacturers to innovate in creating recyclable polyethylene films. Additionally, price volatility in raw materials such as petroleum-based chemicals impacts the overall cost structure of polyethylene film production.
Finland`s government policies on reducing plastic waste and encouraging sustainable packaging drive the polyethylene film market. Regulations that promote the use of recyclable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly packaging solutions are accelerating the demand for sustainable polyethylene films in packaging applications. Finlands commitment to reducing single-use plastics and promoting circular economy practices supports the growth of polyethylene film products.
