The European limestone and gypsum consumption landscape in 2023 exhibits diverse trends. Spain leads with significant usage, followed by Romania and the United Kingdom. Countries like Italy, Serbia, and Croatia show substantial year-on-year increases, whereas the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands experience declines. Malta's consumption surged remarkably. Over a five-year period, steady growth is evident in several countries like Spain, Albania, and Lithuania. Conversely, Iceland sees a notable decrease. The strategic infrastructural developments in Eastern Europe continue to fuel demand in Romania and Poland.
Trends to watch include continued recovery and growth in construction sectors of nations showing current expansion, but potential regulatory changes or economic downturns could impact consumption dynamics.
