Japan's import shipments of 1,4 butanediol in 2024 continued to be dominated by top exporters like Indonesia, Malaysia, USA, Thailand, and India. Despite the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating a concentrated market, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 was negative at -6.36%. Furthermore, the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 saw a significant decline of -28.83%, reflecting a challenging period for the industry. Market players should closely monitor these trends and adjust strategies accordingly to navigate the evolving landscape.
