Earlier Report Observations

The Swedish market for cellular plastic plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, measured in physical volume, contracted from over 60 700 t in 2020 to approximately 50 700 t in 2024. This represented a decline of nearly 17% across the four-year period for which data is available, indicating a sustained reduction in domestic consumption.

In value terms, the market displayed a different trajectory, rising to 254.3 million USD in 2021 before falling to 224.9 million USD in 2024. The temporary increase in market value coincided with a drop in volume, pointing to changes in pricing or product composition that were not maintained in the following years.

The market's development occurred within the wider European Union context, where regional regulatory frameworks and global supply chain dynamics influenced industry conditions. Broader trends in raw material costs and logistics also played a role across the European region during this time.
