European production of men's and boys' knitted or crocheted apparel was predominantly led by Italy in 2023, with a substantial lead over other countries. Portugal, Lithuania, and Bulgaria followed with modest outputs. Italy saw modest growth, while Portugal, Lithuania, and Bulgaria experienced more significant increases. Poland and Serbia had notable jumps, while Romania and Spain recorded noticeable declines. Countries like Finland, with high variance, saw a sharp rise, although it remained a smaller player overall.
Looking ahead, the forecast suggests steady growth, especially from emerging producers. Innovations in sustainable textiles and shifts in global fashion trends could influence production volumes and distributions across Europe. Watch for Eastern Europe's potential role as a growing manufacturing hub.
