In 2024, Ireland continued to rely on key suppliers such as Spain, Portugal, UK, Belgium, and China for balsa core materials imports. Despite the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating market concentration, the industry maintained a strong Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 31.39% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a notable decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -17.97%. This suggests a potential shift in market dynamics or challenges faced by the industry that impacted import volumes. Monitoring these trends will be crucial for stakeholders in the balsa core materials market in Ireland.
