In 2023, Finland led the European production of coated paper and paperboard for writing and printing, with a significant share, though it experienced a slight decline of 1.93% compared to the previous year. Germany and Austria followed, showing a modest increase of 1.08% and 3.09%, respectively. Italy demonstrated the most substantial growth, with a year-on-year increase of 14.3%. Conversely, France and Portugal experienced notable declines of 3.7% and 17.19%. Smaller markets like Denmark and Romania showed impressive gains in percentage terms, signifying potential emerging strength in these countries.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts due to digitalization reducing paper demand. However, the rise of eco-friendly products and potential recovery in countries with declining shares could balance this effect. Regional market dynamics, sustainability trends, and technological advancements in the paper industry are vital to monitor, as they will shape the future landscape of production shares across European countries.
