In 2023, France led European imports of cloth, grills, netting, and fencing from iron, steel, or copper wire, with a share of 20.56%, closely followed by Germany at 19.17%. Notable year-on-year import increases were observed in Denmark (10.33%), Malta (37.86%), and Finland (12.19%). However, declines were seen in Slovenia (-4.85%), Poland (-2.08%), and Estonia (-2.54%). The past five years showed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) driven by growing demand across Europe, with Croatia and Hungary among the emerging contributors.
Future trends to watch include continued growth in northern European countries due to infrastructural developments and increased investments in construction, which could shift the import landscape. Furthermore, attention should be given to policy changes affecting trade, which could alter distribution between countries.
