In 2023, Poland led European imports of paints and varnishes based on acrylic or vinyl polymers with notable growth, followed closely by France and the UK. Recent data highlights the UK's decline and France's consistent climb. Germany, gaining in strength, closely trailed the UK's imports. Sweden showed remarkable growth, far outstripping other Nordic countries. In Central Europe, Hungary and Slovakia recorded strong imports, countered by Romania's decline. Southern Europe evidenced Italy's steady imports, while Spain saw a marginal yet important climb.
Looking forward, expect Poland, with its robust growth trajectory, to extend its lead. France's stable expansion could bring it to the forefront, while Germany's consistent growth could potentially disrupt the current rankings. Nordic regions, driven by Sweden's rise, are poised to increase their market share.
