In 2023, Germany remained the top European importer of rubber hose reinforced with metal at 27.36% share by kilograms, despite a slight decrease of 4.78%. The United Kingdom, accounting for 13.33%, showed significant growth with an 18.79% rise. Italy, Poland, and Czechia also maintained substantial shares at 11.22%, 7.09%, and 6.87%, respectively, with varying growth rates. Remarkably, Luxembourg experienced the highest year-on-year growth at 81.49%. In contrast, large importers like France and Sweden saw a decline.
Future trends to watch include:
- The sustained growth in the UK's imports, possibly driven by post-Brexit trade adjustments.
- Eastern European countries like Poland and Czechia expanding their market share with positive year-on-year growth.
- Monitoring Germany’s import trends following its recent decline in share.
- Evaluating the effect of global supply chain dynamics on these imports, particularly in smaller markets like Luxembourg and Malta.
