In 2024, Hong Kong continued to rely on paraffin oil imports from key suppliers such as Taiwan, Malaysia, and the Netherlands. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, with limited competition among these top exporting countries. Despite a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.51% from 2020 to 2024, the negative growth rate of -34.05% in 2024 suggests a recent decline in demand for paraffin oil in Hong Kong. It will be important to monitor market dynamics and factors influencing this unexpected drop in import shipments.
