The production value of ceramic insulators and insulating fittings in Belgium saw significant fluctuations from 2013 through 2023. After a notable increase from 800.0 thousand euros in 2013 to 3600.0 thousand euros in 2015, the value dropped sharply to 2200.0 thousand euros in 2016, holding steady through 2017. This trend continued downward, hitting a low of 1000.0 thousand euros in 2018. A moderate recovery followed, with values reaching 1500.0 thousand euros in 2021 and maintaining this level through 2023.
