In 2023, Germany leads European countries with a renewable and biofuel consumption in construction standing at 3.25 thousand terajoules, followed by Sweden and France. The Netherlands and Spain also show significant consumption levels. Key growth was seen in Ukraine, Romania, and Slovakia, showing double-digit year-on-year increases. Estonia, the Netherlands, and Germany demonstrated solid growth, while the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Bulgaria experienced declines. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate indicates robust growth in several emerging markets, yet mixed performance in others.
Looking forward, the European construction sector's renewable and biofuel consumption is poised to increase, driven by policy support for sustainable building. Germany and France are expected to continue their leadership roles. Eastern European countries and Spain may witness accelerated growth due to ongoing infrastructural transformation and increasing incorporation of renewable technologies. Monitoring policy changes, technological advancements, and market demand will be vital in forecasting future trends.
