\"These are strong figures that show how robust domestic demand is. There were many challenges in 2021 as the pandemic continued to cause disruption in many areas of production and supply. Not least is the dramatic rise in energy costs, which is having a very direct impact on all foil rolling operations and will continue to do so for some time. In combination with high and highly volatile raw material prices, credit insurance lines may become insufficient, especially for our small and medium-sized customers. The However, demand for aluminium foil remains strong in Europe<\/strong>and the volumes are more than compensating for the decline in exports, which is regrettable but was expected. It remains to be seen what impact the war in Ukraine and the ongoing, albeit subdued, pandemic situation will have on demand and supply in 2022. The However, the industry is generally positive<\/strong>\"We are optimistic about the market outlook and assume that the momentum of 2021 will largely be maintained.\"<\/p>

Exports, on the other hand, continued to decline, falling by almost 15 per cent in 2021, as the effects of the pandemic on production and supply chains have not yet fully subsided. However, they were more than offset by deliveries within Europe. In view of the war in Ukraine and the ongoing pandemic situation, it is to be expected that further market disruptions<\/strong> to be expected. Supply bottlenecks and rising energy costs are likely to lead to higher prices for most raw materials and goods this year.<\/p>
