Belgium and Italy also showed strong export figures with noticeable growth, particularly Belgium at 2.54%. Spain showed significant growth at 4.95%, while France and Poland continued to enhance their export shares with growth rates above 2%. Romania and Greece experienced the most rapid increases, with double-digit growth rates of 10.35% and 10.65%, respectively.

Looking ahead, the European soap and detergent market may see shifts in export dynamics. Key trends to watch include the continued growth in sustainable and environmentally friendly product exports, driven by increasing regulations and consumer demand for greener alternatives. Additionally, the impact of digitalization on production and supply chains could further alter export capabilities, benefiting technologically advanced countries within Europe. The overall EU economic climate and geopolitical factors will also play vital roles in shaping the future landscape of this market.
