In 2023, Italy significantly dominated the European export market for flexible tubes, pipes, and hoses of plastics with a burst pressure more than 27.6 MPa, accounting for 98.33% of the total export share by volume. This marked a year-on-year increase of 119.62%, highlighting Italy's strengthening leadership position. Other countries like Sweden and Estonia showed remarkable growth, with increases of 17.43% and 272.48% respectively, although they still hold smaller shares compared to Italy. Conversely, France experienced a complete cessation in export activities in this sector, and other countries like Germany and Hungary saw declines.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch include Italy's potential to maintain or increase its dominant market share, possibly influenced by innovations and efficiencies in production. Attention should also be given to smaller markets, such as Estonia, which have shown rapid growth and may continue to expand their contributions. The overall European market could experience shifts depending on changes in international trade agreements and demand for high-pressure plastic products across various industries.
