In 2023, China dominated over other countries, accounting for a significant share of the global export market for woven fabrics containing less than 85% flax. Italy and India followed as the second and third largest exporters, despite Italy experiencing a decline. Europe, with countries like Belgium, Lithuania, and Spain, exhibited varying performance, with Germany and France seeing substantial declines. Asian exporters such as China, India, and Thailand displayed positive growth trends, while the USA showed modest improvement.
