In 2023, Belgium dominated the European import market for gaskets and similar joints of metal sheeting, with substantial growth of approximately 68%. Meanwhile, Germany and the United Kingdom saw declines of nearly 3% and over 4%, respectively. Italy, France, and Spain experienced marginal changes.
