In 2023, France led in environmentally related tax revenue from all environmental taxes in manufacturing textiles, apparel, and leather products, followed by Germany and Romania. Notable year-on-year increases were seen in Romania and Slovakia, at 10.24% and 27.72%, respectively. Ireland and Malta also experienced significant growth, with 5.62% and 5.15% increases. Conversely, Denmark, Bulgaria, and Slovenia faced steep declines, with the latter seeing a reduction of 39.15%.

Future trends to watch include a potential rise in environmental tax revenues driven by stricter regulations and increased sustainability initiatives. Countries with declining revenues may focus on innovative strategies to bolster their green tax frameworks, while others may explore harmonized tax policies across the EU to level the playing field. The focus on sustainable practices and their taxation may significantly influence market dynamics and competitive advantages within the industry.
