Germany dominated the European copper and copper alloy plates, sheets, and strip export sector with a 68.74% share in 2023, despite a slight decline of 3.08%. Italy and Bulgaria follow, showing positive growth. Remarkably, Latvia, Ireland, Malta, and Luxembourg had notable growth, although from smaller bases. Conversely, France and Denmark experienced significant drops, notably a 100% decline for France, indicating possible cessation or transition in their export activities.
Future trends to watch:
- Potential for smaller countries like Latvia and Malta to increase market share, driven by robust percentage growth.
- Shifts in trade dynamics as countries like France exit or significantly reduce their exports.
- Ongoing impact of global economic conditions influencing the competitiveness and capacity of key exporters like Germany and Italy.
