The Republic of Macedonia continues to rely heavily on imports of plastics for personal protective equipment, with top exporters including China, Italy, Greece, Japan, and Portugal in 2024. The market shows a concerning trend towards very high concentration, indicating the dominance of a few key suppliers. Despite a strong compound annual growth rate of 11.73% from 2020 to 2024, the negative growth rate of -12.2% from 2023 to 2024 raises red flags for the industry`s future trajectory. Stakeholders should closely monitor these developments to mitigate potential risks and explore diversification strategies.
