In 2023, Spain led the European export market for boards, sheets, panels, and tiles made of plaster, not reinforced with paper, capturing a substantial share. Significant year-on-year growth was recorded in Italy, Greece, and Luxembourg, driven by respective increases of 34.19%, 55.08%, and 40.0%. In contrast, Croatia, Romania, and France faced the most pronounced declines, with reductions of 17.61%, 15.03%, and 16.43%, respectively. Poland and the Netherlands also showed positive momentum, demonstrating consistent growth, alongside smaller yet notable gains by countries like Estonia.
Future trends to watch include the potential influence of increasing demand for sustainable building materials, which may bolster exports from countries investing in greener production. Regulatory environments pushing for lower carbon footprints could also shift production capacities, impacting market shares. Continued geopolitical and economic factors across Europe will affect trade flows, possibly providing both opportunities and challenges for exporters in this segment.
