In 2023, France led European imports of base metal closures, stoppers, caps, and lids with 109.88 million kilograms. Germany closely followed with 107.32 million kilograms while Belgium and the Netherlands recorded significant volumes. Among smaller importers, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Cyprus showed limited activity with volumes under 5 million kilograms. Year-on-year growth varied, with notable increases in Luxembourg (23.63%) and Malta (13.28%), while Cyprus experienced an 8.43% decline.
Looking ahead to 2024, attention should be on the sustained demand in core markets like France and Germany, potential expansion in Belgium, and possible challenges for Cyprus and other smaller markets due to varying economic conditions and market pressures.
