The European export landscape for articles of asbestos-cement and cellulose fibre-cement is led by Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom, with Germany holding the highest export share at 19.1 kilograms. Notable year-on-year variations include a substantial increase in exports from Ireland (30.95%), Denmark (73.6%), and Bulgaria (304.56%), while countries like Hungary (-11.57%), Croatia (-23.85%), and Estonia (-40.27%) experienced declines in 2023.
Future trends to watch include increased environmental regulations potentially affecting production in countries heavily reliant on traditional asbestos-cement products. There is also a growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives, which could spur innovation and market shifts towards cellulose fibre-cement within Europe.
