In 2023, Sweden led European exports of flat-rolled products of tool or alloy steel with a share of 26.71%, followed by Germany at 23.45%, and Belgium at 14.11%. Notable changes included significant growth in exports by Denmark (34.98%) and Slovakia (33.22%), while countries like Romania and Bulgaria saw sharp declines of 8.66% and 54.63%, respectively.

Meanwhile, major players like Sweden and Germany may face competitive shifts as other nations enhance production capabilities or adapt to changing market demands in European and global contexts.
