In 2023, Poland led European imports of non-wired sheets over 3.5 mm thick, constituting 18.81% of total square meter share. Conversely, Germany and France experienced modest declines of -2.25% and -1.93% respectively, while the Netherlands showed a notable increase of 12.01%. Malta stood out with a remarkable increase of 46.82%, despite its relatively small market share. The countries achieving consistent year-on-year growth were Poland, Portugal, Lithuania, and Finland.
Future trends to watch include the continued strong performance by Poland, potentially driven by industrial growth and infrastructure investments. The Netherlands is expected to maintain its upward trajectory, indicating increased demand or improved capabilities to process these materials. Monitoring how these factors impact smaller markets and their import strategies will provide insights into broader European import shifts.
