European Export of Cellulose Wadding for Household or Sanitary Purposes in Rolls or in Rectangular Sheets at Least 36 cm Wide Share by Country (Kilograms)

In 2023, Italy dominated the European export market for cellulose wadding for household or sanitary purposes, with a significant 93.39% market share by kilogram. Portugal, Sweden, and Spain followed with 5.21%, 2.43%, and 1.6% respectively. All other countries contributed marginally, each under 1%. Notably, Italy's exports rose by 11.32% year-on-year, while Croatia and Romania showed the largest year-on-year export growth rates at 80.57% and 72.49%, respectively. Denmark also marked a notable increase of 46.55%, while Greece experienced a decline of 30.42%.

Future trends to watch in the European cellulose wadding export market include the potential for increased diversification among exporting countries. While Italy's predominance is likely to continue, emerging markets such as Croatia and Romania may capture more significant shares if their growth trajectories persist. Environmental sustainability trends may also influence production and export patterns, with countries possibly shifting towards eco-friendly production practices.
