In 2023, Italy led the European export of cotton yarn of uncombed fibers with a significant 92.81% share. Germany followed with 7.89%, and Belgium held 4.97% before experiencing a complete withdrawal from the market. Countries such as Poland, Greece, and France maintained smaller shares, with year-on-year variations suggesting stability or slight declines except for Finland and Ireland, which saw increases. The compound annual growth rate over the last five years shows a predominantly stable market with minor fluctuations, except for notable growth in Italy and recovery in Ireland.
Looking ahead, trends to watch include Italy's continuing dominance, potential rebounds in Irish exports, and strategic movements from countries like Germany that might seek to enhance their market presence as Belgium exits this sector. Enhanced sustainability initiatives and trade policy changes could also impact future export dynamics.
