Earlier Report Observations
The market for linseed oil and fractions in Denmark experienced considerable fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. In 2018, the market volume stood at 2 611 t, a level supported by increased activity in the chemical industry and oil refining sectors, which raised demand for industrial oils including linseed oil. However, consumption fell sharply to 2 008 t in 2019, before a strong recovery in 2020 lifted the market to 2 994 t. Volume remained stable at 2 989 t in 2021, showing little change from the previous year.
After declining to 2 524 t in 2022, the market saw a moderate recovery to 2 669 t in 2023. This growth coincided with the agreement on a green tax reform, which introduced a national CO2 charge for refineries from 2025, potentially improving the cost competitiveness of vegetable oils like linseed oil versus conventional petroleum-based products.
