Germany, Belgium, and France emerged as key suppliers, while Belgium, Mexico, and Germany were primary export destinations. The market faced challenges with declining export and import prices. Looking ahead to 2035, the market is expected to navigate these dynamics, influenced by global production and consumption trends.
