Earlier Report Observations

The market size for silicones in primary forms in Denmark, measured in value, declined from 13.7 million USD in 2018 to 9.0 million USD in 2020. In physical terms, market volume saw a temporary increase in 2019 to 1,819 tons before dropping to 1,404 tons in 2020.

A recovery in market value occurred in 2021, reaching 12.2 million USD, but this was short-lived as values fell again in 2022 and 2023 to 9.1 million USD. The overall trend from 2018 to 2023 shows significant volatility with no clear sustained growth.

By 2024, the market value had decreased further to 7.0 million USD. This decline aligns with broader European trends where silicone production and consumption fell, influenced by stringent environmental regulations and a strong focus on sustainable building practices as part of the EU's carbon-neutral targets. The market is characterized by a premium product mix with specialty formulations, and the EU regulatory environment continues to promote recyclable and long-lasting silicones.
