Italy leads the European export market for tableware and kitchenware of plastic with 209.16 million kg in 2023, showing a marginal growth of 0.46%. Spain and Belgium follow, but both experienced declines, with Spain shrinking by 3.92% and Belgium by 2.66%. Germany also noted a substantial decrease of 9.11%. Noteworthy growth was observed in Bulgaria (0.54%), Ireland (1.84%), and Croatia (2.8%). Conversely, Netherlands and Greece stopped exports entirely. Over a longer period, Luxembourg, Malta, and Estonia are emerging with rapid growth, while traditional players like Denmark and Latvia are falling behind.

Countries like Malta and Cyprus, despite their smaller output, could influence the market if their growth persists. Environmental sustainability will play a critical role in shaping future export strategies.
