In 2024, Ireland continued to see a steady increase in bio-based foam import shipments, with top exporting countries being the UK, Germany, China, USA, and Belgium. Despite the diverse sources of imports, the market remained highly competitive with a low Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating low concentration. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood at a robust 7.92%, showcasing sustained market expansion. However, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -0.18%, suggesting a potential slowdown in the market`s momentum.
