The European import of paints and varnishes based on polyesters, acrylic, or vinyl polymers exhibited diverse trends across countries in 2023. Germany led despite an 8.8% decline, followed by the Netherlands with a 2.47% rise, and Spain at 3.54%. Significant increases were noted in Austria and Lithuania, at 5.97% and 5.59% respectively, while Malta experienced a 2.32% drop.

Future trends to watch include increasing demand in Eastern European countries and potential impacts of green technology adoption, which may shift import dynamics and priorities. Furthermore, economic indicators and trade policies post-Brexit could alter import volumes, particularly in the United Kingdom and neighboring countries.
