The European calculated inland consumption of coal tar shows a significant variation across countries. In 2023, Ukraine led with the highest consumption at 592.7 thousand metric tons, although it experienced a slight decline of 1.6%. Notably, Serbia exhibited a significant rise of 82.96%, while Poland also increased its consumption by 33.98%. Most other countries, including the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Italy, and France, experienced declines, with the largest decrease seen in the Netherlands at 20.29%. These trends reflect a broader shift in consumption patterns across Europe.
Future trends to watch include the potential for renewable energy sources and stricter environmental regulations to influence further declines in coal tar demand across Europe. Countries that recorded increases, like Poland and Serbia, may adjust their policies to align with broader European environmental goals, potentially leading to reduced coal tar usage over time. Monitoring these policy changes will be essential for predicting future consumption trends.
