In 2023, Italy dominated the European market for men's or boys' trousers, breeches, and shorts made of wool or fine animal hair, capturing a remarkable 78.02% of the production share, marking a significant 36.9% year-on-year increase. Portugal, holding a modest 4% share, experienced a slight decline of 0.24% from the previous year. Meanwhile, Bosnia and Herzegovina saw a small growth, with a 1.71% increase, whereas Romania and Lithuania experienced sharp declines with -23.15% and -23.16%, respectively.

Attention should be paid to technological advancements in textile production and shifting consumer preferences toward sustainable and ethically-produced clothing, which may impact production ratios among European countries.
