The data for 2023 shows Sweden and Finland as the leading exporters of cartonboard to non-EU countries, with significant shares of 35.21 and 30.75 thousand metric tons, respectively. Germany follows with 12.41 thousand metric tons. Notably, more minor players like Portugal saw considerable growth at 36.61%, while Belgium faced steep declines of 26.17%. The European cartonboard export market exhibits varied trends, with some countries experiencing growth while others see declines, likely due to changing international demand and production costs.
Looking ahead, the focus should be on the sustainability of supply chains and emerging markets beyond the EU. Understanding geopolitical impacts and eco-friendly demand can provide insights into future export fluctuations and strategic positioning for European cartonboard producers.
