In 2023, Spain led the European export of non-coloured cotton fabrics weighing at least 200 g/m² with a substantial 36.36% share, followed by Italy at 25.15% and the Netherlands at 9.76%. France and the United Kingdom contributed modestly with shares of 8.38% and 5.81%, respectively. Countries like Czechia and Poland had significantly lower shares, each below 3%.
Recent trends show overall shrinking shares for major exporters. Spain's export share decreased by 5.2%, Italy's dropped sharply by 9.28%, and the Netherlands experienced a decrease of 2.38%. Notably, despite smaller shares, Malta's export skyrocketed by 169.27% while Belgium, Greece, and Denmark saw a complete halt in exports. Finland, Sweden, and Lithuania recorded positive gains, indicating potential growth areas.
Future trends likely include continued market consolidation toward leading countries like Spain and Italy with cautious optimism for emerging contributors such as Lithuania and Malta. Monitoring sustainability practices and trade policy changes could further influence dynamics in Europe's textile exports.
