In 2023, Germany led European electricity consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector, with Italy and France following. Germany, France, and the UK saw minor declines, while Spain and Italy grew substantially by over 3%. Central and Eastern Europe, particularly Poland and Romania, displayed moderate increases. The notable growth leader was Iceland, with substantial gains. Southern Europe's Macedonia, Bosnia, and Kosovo also experienced significant consumption growth. Despite a decline, Luxembourg recorded the sharpest drop. The sector showed resilience to gradual declines, with emerging markets displaying vibrancy.
Future trends to watch include energy transition impacts on renewable integration and efficiency in non-metallic production. Potential growth might arise in Central and Eastern European countries. Strengthening energy policies or technological advancements in Southern Europe could further influence consumption patterns, especially in adapting renewable resources into the non-metallic minerals sector.
