Anti-freezing preparations and prepared de-icing fluids market in Denmark

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for anti-freezing preparations in Denmark fluctuated considerably between 2018 and 2024. Starting at 19 575 tons in 2018, consumption fell sharply to 11 830 tons in 2019 and reached a low of 7 933 tons in 2020. A gradual recovery followed, with the market growing to 9 473 tons in 2021 and 10 762 tons in 2022.

The most pronounced surge occurred in 2023, when market volume jumped to 17 622 tons, an increase of over 60% from the previous year. This expansion was driven by a sharp rise in domestic production, which more than doubled from 7 493 tons in 2022 to 16 282 tons in 2023. Imports fell during this period, indicating a shift toward locally manufactured products.

The upturn was short-lived, as the market contracted sharply in 2024 to 9 366 tons, back to levels seen in 2021. This drop coincided with a significant increase in exports, which rose from 7 341 tons in 2023 to 13 687 tons in 2024, suggesting that a larger share of production was directed abroad rather than to the domestic market.
