Reinforced flexible tubes and hoses market in Denmark

Earlier Report Observations

The market for reinforced flexible tubes and hoses in Denmark showed variability in its early years, declining to 2 439 tons in 2019 before stabilizing near 2 466 tons in 2020.

A pronounced expansion began in 2021, with market volume jumping 33% to 3 296 tons. This surge was fueled by a Europe-wide spike in demand, reflected in a 21% increase in import prices for flexible tubes with fittings. The growth phase, likely supported by new market entrants or capacity expansions, continued into 2022 as the market reached 3 332 tons alongside record European production levels and rising industry investments in circular economy initiatives, such as manufacturing pipes with recycled content to meet EU environmental standards.

A market correction followed in 2023, with volume dipping to 3 202 tons amid broader European supply chain disruptions and a post-peak demand adjustment. The market then rebounded strongly in 2024, climbing to 3 668 tons. During this period, the industry's strategic focus remained on sustainability, with ongoing investments in producing recycled-content pipes certified under EU standards.
