Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the non-vegetable waxes market in Paraguay saw a gradual expansion in volume, climbing from 167.7 tonnes to 172.9 tonnes. Growth was most pronounced leading up to 2022, when the market reached its highest point at 174.5 tonnes.

This trajectory was primarily driven by domestic production, which increased from 167.1 tonnes in 2018 to 173.9 tonnes in 2022. The following year, however, production contracted slightly to 172.3 tonnes, pulling the overall market size down in parallel.

Imports played a negligible role in the market balance throughout the period, consistently remaining below 1.1 tonnes annually, while exports were absent. As a result, the market's movements were almost entirely a reflection of local output levels.
