Earlier Report Observations
The domestic market volume for propellant powders in Finland experienced significant fluctuations between 2021 and 2024. After reaching 201 tons in 2021, it contracted to 156 tons in 2022, before recovering to 208 tons in 2023 and expanding further to 256 tons in 2024.
This volatility was driven by changes in production and trade flows. Domestic production fell from 802 tons in 2021 to 723 tons in 2023, before surging to 966 tons in 2024. Imports, which had grown steadily to 50 tons in 2023, collapsed to just over 1 ton in 2024. Meanwhile, exports remained high, exceeding 560 tons annually from 2021 onwards, with a peak of 711 tons in 2024. The net result was a shrinking market in 2022 when export volumes remained stable while production dipped, and a growing market in 2024 as a production spike outweighed a sharp import reduction.
In value terms, the market mirrored this trajectory, declining to 5.2 million USD in 2022 before rising to 7.4 million USD in 2023 and 11.0 million USD in 2024.
