In 2023, Germany led European exports of folding cartons, boxes, and cases of non-corrugated paper or paperboard, holding a substantial share. The Netherlands and Belgium followed, with significant shares but less than Germany. Notable year-on-year growth was seen in Portugal (7.17%), Hungary (5.54%), Greece (10.73%), Ireland (31.73%), and Romania (3.35%). Conversely, Slovakia and Malta saw decreases of 2.97% and 23.58% respectively. The year-on-year variations highlight Belgium's fairly stable exports and notable declines in certain smaller markets like Luxembourg.
Future trends to watch include Germany maintaining its leading position, with expected support from tech and eco-friendly innovations driving growth. Emerging markets like Eastern Europe, specifically Croatia and Bulgaria, may continue to expand, diversifying the European export landscape.
