Croatia’s Smoothing Iron Market Hits Decade-High Growth in 2024

Croatia’s stock market has reached new highs in 2024, with both consumption and imports rising sharply. The sector saw steady growth over the past decade, but recent figures show a notable increase in domestic demand. Meanwhile, exports have dipped after years of expansion, signalling a shift in trade patterns.

The Croatian stock market for smoothing irons expanded by X% in 2024, reaching a total value of $X. This follows an average annual growth rate of X% from 2012 to 2024, reflecting a long-term upward trend. Domestic consumption also hit a record, climbing by X% compared to 2022 levels.

The Croatian smoothing iron market is now at its strongest point in over a decade, driven by rising domestic sales and increased imports. While exports have weakened after years of growth, key trade relationships—particularly with Poland—remain important. Analysts expect consumption to keep growing in the near term, maintaining the sector’s momentum.
