European Environmental Protection Related Ancillary Output in Protection of Ambient Air and Climate in Manufacture of Textiles, Wearing Apparel, Leather and Related Products by the Business Sector by Country

The European environmental protection-related ancillary output in the manufacture of textiles, apparel, leather, and related products exhibits varying values across countries for 2023. Germany leads with 10.2 million euros, followed by France at 7.8 million euros. Spain and Austria lag with 2.2 million and 0.2 million euros, respectively, alongside Lithuania also at 0.2 million euros. Year-on-year changes from 2023 indicate moderate growth in Germany (3.0%) and France (3.09%), while Spain and Austria declined (-1.73% and -7.79%, respectively). Lithuania remained stable.

Looking ahead, the focus on sustainability is likely to drive an increase in environmental protection investments, especially in leading economies like Germany and France. The textile and leather sectors are expected to adopt innovative methods to reduce emissions further, while smaller markets may slowly catch up as technology becomes more accessible and regulations tighten across Europe.
