As of 2024, Italy leads the European exports of cartons, boxes, and cases of corrugated paper or paperboard with 5.906 billion kilograms. Germany and Spain follow with 5.2658 and 3.9789 billion kilograms, respectively. Other significant exporters include Belgium and the Netherlands, although the latter experienced a 100% decline in their exports. Over the past two years, notable growth was seen in Italy, Spain, and Ireland, whereas the Netherlands completely dropped out. Estonia and Luxembourg experienced double-digit growth, while countries like Sweden and Malta faced declines.
Future trends to watch include potential rebounds in the Netherlands following its sharp decline and continuous growth in environmentally-friendly packaging demands across Europe. Monitoring supply chain efficiencies and sustainability initiatives will also be crucial for maintaining competitive advantages in the global market.
