The European market falls 19% year-on-year and redistributes leadership between Chile, Colombia and Israel

The European market closed week 48 with 589 arrivals, a figure representing a 10% drop compared to the previous week and a 19% year-on-year decrease. Although Chile again led the supply with a 41% share, the distribution among other origins showed a more balanced scenario than in previous weeks. Colombia ranked second with 24%, followed by Israel with 17%, while Morocco and Spain reached 9% and 6%, respectively. Mexico and South Africa contributed around 1%.

The weekly dynamics resulted in significant shifts in the supply composition. Spain doubled its production compared to the previous week, while Mexico increased its volumes by around 60%. In contrast, the main suppliers—Chile, Colombia, and Israel—registered declines. The most marked decrease was in Chile, with a 21% drop, which helped to balance the presence of different Mediterranean origins in the market.

In terms of prices, the week showed mixed trends depending on the gauge. The larger sizes were the only ones to register increases: 18 gauge rose 3% and 14 gauge advanced 19%. The remaining gauges experienced declines, with particularly significant drops in 32 gauge, which fell by an average of 14%, and a downward trend also in 24 gauge.

When comparing price curves between Europe and the United States, traders indicate that differences are narrowing for smaller sizes, whose prices are showing increasing convergence between the two markets. The same cannot be said for larger sizes, where Europe still maintains a significant gap compared to the levels observed in the United States.
