In 2023, Hungary dominated the European export market for scouring pastes and powders with a share of 54.8% by kilograms, followed by Poland at 13.53% and Belgium at 7.13%. Notable year-on-year growth was observed in France (12.93%), Sweden (20.48%), Greece (27.07%), and Latvia (9.55%). On the contrary, significant declines were seen in the United Kingdom, Austria, and Belgium. The five-year CAGR reflects consistent dominance by Hungary, with stable increases in Poland, but a decline overall in major exporters except for emerging growth in niche markets like Sweden and Greece.
Future trends to watch include the potential market expansion in Eastern Europe driven by Hungary and Poland, alongside increasing sustainability demands, which may impact production and export methods. Growth in environmental regulations and shifts in consumer preferences towards eco-friendly products could create opportunities for innovative scouring products across Europe.
