The European import landscape for plaster-based materials has seen various movements in 2023. Germany leads with the most significant volume, experiencing a strong 10.16% rise. France comes next but has decreased by 2.22%. Denmark and the Netherlands have both shown notable growth with 7.69% and 8.84% increases, respectively. The UK has seen modest growth, while emerging markets like Spain and Ireland experienced significant growth of 8.66% and 9.9%. Noteworthy declines are observed in Sweden, Belgium, and Croatia with reductions of 11.65%, 7.77%, and 11.56%, respectively.
