Earlier Report Observations

The market for unlaminated plastics profiles in Bosnia and Herzegovina contracted significantly from 2021 to 2024, with volume falling from 27 113 t to 15 394 t and value declining from $76.5 million to $58.4 million. This reduction was accompanied by a steep drop in domestic production, which more than halved from 6 315 t to 2 409 t over the same period.

Throughout the 2018–2025 span, export volumes demonstrated consistent growth, rising from 4 644 t in 2021 to 9 814 t in 2025, while import volumes peaked in 2021 at 25 443 t before easing to 21 198 t by 2025. The sector's reorientation toward external markets is evident in the sustained expansion of outbound shipments.

The overall market dynamics between 2021 and 2024 reflect a substantial decrease in local consumption, as rising exports and declining production reshaped the supply structure without offsetting the total volume loss.
