Most Eastern European countries, such as Poland, Sweden, and Greece, exhibited moderate growth, with Greece showing an impressive 12.43% increase.

Future trends to watch include the potential for robust growth in Eastern European markets, driven by increasing industrial activities and the need for tools and wooden products.

Environmental regulations in Europe may also impact future import patterns, encouraging more sustainable sourcing and innovation in wood product manufacturing.
