In 2023, Italy dominated European exports of polishes, creams, and similar preparations used for footwear or leather, representing 51.2% of total exports by weight. Significant growth was observed in Italy (24.67% year-on-year) and Ireland (16.7%), while prominent declines were noted in Estonia (-20.26%) and Croatia (-50.54%). The last five years have seen Italy securing its competitive edge with stable growth, while traditional exporters like Spain and the Netherlands experienced contractions, indicating a potential shift in export dynamics.
Future trends may include continuous growth in Italy and potential recovery in countries with recent declines. Increasing demand for eco-friendly and innovative products could drive export changes. Monitoring economic and trade policies within Europe will also be crucial, as these could impact export volumes and market shares.
