In 2023, Finland dominated European chemical wood pulp exports to non-EU countries, holding a substantial share with Sweden following. Notable year-on-year growth was observed in smaller exporters such as Latvia and Hungary. The EU saw overall diversification in its export profile, with countries like Italy and Estonia witnessing significant increases. Conversely, some regions like Austria experienced a decline.
Future trends to watch include Finland’s continued dominance, potential growth in emerging exporters such as Latvia, and the impact of global demand fluctuations. Sustainability and green innovations might influence these trends, alongside geopolitical developments affecting trade dynamics.
