The global export of flax is dominated by France with a 50.57% share, followed by Belgium at 33.77%. Although other countries like Lithuania, Belarus, and Egypt play a role, their shares are significantly smaller. Smaller players such as Italy, Netherlands, and Canada contribute less than 1% each. In recent trends, there have been notable increases in Slovakia and South Africa while Canada and Ukraine saw declines. Poland and Denmark displayed positive growth trends in 2023, reflecting significant export activities.
Future trends to monitor include the potential for increased output from Eastern European countries like Slovakia, driven by a high year-on-year increase in 2023. African markets, notably South Africa, show vast potential due to their substantial percentage growth despite their current minor share. Watching how established markets in Europe handle competition and changes in global demand will be key.
