In 2023, Italy led the European export of knitted and crocheted hosiery with significant volume compared to other countries, though it experienced a slight decline of 1.99% year-on-year. Croatia showed notable growth at 7.57%. Germany, Slovakia, and Poland saw contractions, whereas Greece experienced the highest increase at 19.73%. The UK exports dropped sharply by 9.5%, highlighting a downward trend.

These factors could drive export dynamics, potentially altering the current landscape and offering new opportunities for growth in this sector.
