In 2023, Italy led the European exports of creped or crinkled sack kraft paper, with significant volumes, though experiencing a slight decline.

Romania showcased substantial growth at 19.29%, indicating increased production or demand.

The increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions, particularly in emerging markets, could spur growth, while potential trade restrictions and economic uncertainty might curtail expansion. Addressing these could optimize performance while ensuring robust supply chains and exploring new markets. Watching technological advancements in production processes and evolving consumer preferences will be pivotal in capitalizing on positive trends.
