In 2023, Portugal led European imports of cotton yarn of uncombed fibres with 46.7 million kilograms, closely followed by Germany at 21.2 million kilograms. Notable declines were observed across major countries, with Germany and France experiencing over 5% decreases. The UK had the most significant drop at over 10%, whereas Finland saw a dramatic increase of over 39%. Belgium and Latvia experienced substantial contractions. The compounded annual growth rate over the past five years reflects these declining trends, emphasizing market contraction across the continent.
Future trends to watch include shifts in sourcing and sustainability practices, which may introduce variability in import volumes. Economic recovery post-pandemic and geopolitical influences like trade agreements could impact Europe’s import dynamics significantly over the coming years.
