In 2023, France led the European grazed biomass domestic material consumption with a significant share of 34.81 thousand metric tons. Spain and Ireland followed, each with values of 16.5 and 11.4 thousand metric tons, respectively. Among the larger markets, France and Germany showed positive year-over-year variations of 1.44% and 1.38%, suggesting a stable or growing consumption trend. Conversely, Romania, with a decrease of -1.71%, and Portugal, declining by -3.35%, highlighted some areas of reduced activity. Other countries experienced mixed results with notable increases in Hungary and Slovakia, whereas Albania and Macedonia faced steep declines.
The forecast suggests a continued leadership for France, with stable contributions from Spain and Ireland. However, growth is anticipated in Germany, driven by policy shifts toward sustainable practices. Countries with current negative trends could see policy-driven recoveries as environmental initiatives take hold. Monitoring market adjustments, regulatory changes, and technological advancements in sustainable grazing will be critical for assessing future trends in European grazed biomass consumption.
