In 2023, Germany led the European import of glass fibres with a 21.38% share, a slight increase of 0.76% year-over-year. France and Belgium followed with shares of 14.54% and 8.85%, respectively, with notable year-over-year increases of 2.3% and 6.72%. The Netherlands, Italy, and Spain maintained significant shares, with modest growth rates. Emerging markets include Finland and Greece, which saw substantial year-on-year growth of 6.97% and 9.67%, respectively. Conversely, Latvia, Estonia, and Bulgaria experienced declines.
Future trends to watch include potential increases in import shares for rapidly growing markets like Cyprus and Malta, which saw remarkable growth rates in 2023. Additionally, the stability in Germany's and France's market shares suggests continued dominance, but the evolving market dynamics in smaller nations could reshape the import landscape in the forthcoming years.
