In 2023, Italy and Spain dominated the import of semi-chemical fluting in Europe, accounting together for over 60% of imports by weight. While Italy saw a slight reduction, Spain experienced growth. Germany and Greece, once strong players, had negative growth, whereas Portugal enjoyed a significant increase. France and Poland faced considerable declines. Smaller markets like Lithuania and Belgium showed resilience amidst broader downturns. Portugal's robust growth and Belgium's resilience highlighted regional variations.
Future trends to watch include:
- The continuing impact of economic shifts on Germany and Greece.
- The potential for Portugal's rising trend to sustain and influence regional import patterns.
- The resilience of smaller markets despite overall European challenges.
- The implications of a declining UK market on regional supply chains.
