The European export of natural bitumen and asphalt, as of 2023, was highest in Belgium, followed by Croatia, and the UK, with Belgium being an outlier at 184.33 million kilograms. The past year's trends demonstrated notable increases in Croatia and Italy, while the UK and France experienced declines. Slovenia, Finland, and Estonia saw significant year-on-year growth, indicating emerging strengths in their exports. The compound annual growth rate over the last five years reflects these trends, showcasing dynamic shifts in export strengths across Europe.
Future trends to watch include continued growth potential in Eastern European countries like Slovenia, Poland, and Estonia, potentially driven by infrastructure investments and increasing demand within Europe. The substantial negative changes in traditionally strong exporters such as the UK and France suggest a possible reorientation of supply chains or market demand towards these rising players.
