In 2023, Germany led European charcoal consumption by households, constituting 43.38 Terajoules. Italy and Greece followed but at significantly lower levels, 13.33 and 11.98 Terajoules respectively. Notable growth included Belgium's 12.7% increase, while Slovakia faced a dramatic decline of 18.53%. Despite its small market, Serbia saw a surge of 93.25%, albeit still a minor player in overall consumption.
Looking ahead, pay attention to Belgium and Portugal's rapid growth trends, potentially reshaping the regional landscape. Also, Germany’s slight decline suggests potential market saturation or shifting energy preferences, worth monitoring for future decisions. Ukraine remains stable, while Slovakia should be watched for potential recovery.
