Earlier Report Observations

Production of non-vegetable waxes in Jamaica remained highly stable between 2018 and 2023, with annual output consistently ranging from 253 to 254 tons. This steady domestic production formed the core of the market throughout the period.

Total market volume, however, experienced minor fluctuations driven entirely by changes in import levels. Imports varied significantly, peaking at 2.8 tons in 2020 before dropping sharply to 0.4 tons the following year, which directly reduced the total supply available in the market.

Overall, the market size for non-vegetable waxes in Jamaica showed little net change, ending at 255.2 tons in 2023, nearly identical to the 255.0 tons recorded in 2018. The market's stability was underscored by the complete absence of exports during these years.
