In 2023, German households lead in expenditure on housing, water, and energy at 472.26 billion euros, followed by France and Spain. Lithuania, Croatia, Latvia, and Estonia account for the lowest expenditures. From 2023, Estonia shows the highest year-on-year increase at 16.53%, with Lithuania also experiencing significant growth. Central and Eastern European countries exhibit robust spending escalations, while Western Europe, notably Belgium and Ireland, shows moderate growth. Over the past two years, Slovakia and the Baltic states have consistently exhibited strong increases.
Looking forward, watch for potential impacts of policy shifts in energy efficiency, inflation, and green energy transitions, which could notably influence expenditures across European households.
