In 2023, Germany led European charcoal imports with 176.14 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, followed by Italy and Greece, with varying growth rates. Trends showed notable growth in Finland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia, while Latvia, Slovakia, and Iceland experienced declines. Germany and Norway's imports slightly decreased, while Belgium and Bulgaria showed strong growth.
Going forward, watch for potential market shifts as countries that showed strong growth like Belgium and unexpected trends in smaller markets, such as Finland, may influence overall European import dynamics. Monitoring policy changes and environmental regulations will also be critical as they may impact import volumes.
