In 2023, Italy dominated the European export of partly or wholly hydrogenated animal fats and oils, holding a staggering 78.21% share. Belgium and Croatia followed, albeit at significantly lower figures, with shares of 9.29% and 1.88% respectively. Other notable exporters included Germany, Romania, and Austria, though their shares were minimal in comparison. While Germany and Poland experienced a decline in export growth, countries like Romania, Austria, and Hungary saw notable increases, with Finland recording the highest growth rate among the smaller exporters.
Future trends to watch in the European export market for hydrogenated animal fats and oils include the potential for Italy to maintain its leading position, given its substantial market share. However, emerging growth in countries like Finland and Austria may indicate a shift in production capacities or competitive advantages. Additionally, geopolitical developments, consumer demand shifts toward sustainability, and technological advancements in production processes may influence export trends in this sector.
