Following a slight decline of 3.83% in 2013, production rebounded with steady growth up until 2019, indicating an overall strengthening sector. However, 2020 saw a significant drop of 15.52%, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The average annual growth (CAGR) over the last five years stands at 1.55%, signifying a stable upward trend.
Looking ahead, the forecasted data from 2024 onward suggests a consistent growth trajectory, approaching an annual average increase of 1.26% (CAGR) over the next five years. By 2028, the sector is anticipated to expand by 6.46% from 2023 levels, reaching 142.01 billion Euros.
Future trends to watch include the integration of new technologies in logistics, the impact of sustainability measures, and evolving consumer behavior, all of which could significantly influence the sector’s growth dynamics.
