Brief Market Overview
Market
size
and growth prospects
The recent evolution of Denmark’s GDP growth shows a trajectory marked by initial volatility followed by gradual stabilisation. After the economic contraction of 2020, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Denmark recorded an exceptional recovery in 2021, demonstrating the effectiveness of its economic response measures and the country’s structural resilience.
The transition to more moderate growth in 2022 and 2023, with rates of 1.5% and 2.5% respectively, marks a phase of normalisation that coincides with the emergence of new global challenges. Denmark’s GDP growth projections for 2024 and 2025, at 3.7% and 2.9% respectively, point to a macroeconomic environment in a phase of consolidation, marked by stability and the maturity of the current expansion cycle. This context is underpinned by strong structural factors, most notably the consistent performance of industrial production — with particular relevance for the pharmaceutical sector — which has been boosting added value, exports and skilled employment. In addition, the normalisation of supply chains has restored competitiveness, while rising private consumption and investment — supported by lower interest rates and higher real incomes — are driving domestic demand.
