As of 2023, Portugal accounts for the highest share of heat final consumption in the European textile and leather sector with a significant lead over Italy and Ukraine. Germany and Bulgaria also contribute notable shares, albeit with declining consumption trends over the last year. Noteworthy is the increase in consumption in Lithuania, Slovakia, and Serbia, suggesting rising industrial activity or efficiency improvements. Countries like Hungary and France have seen a marked reduction in energy consumption, indicating potential shifts in their textile and leather production processes.
Looking forward, the European textile and leather sector may experience shifts towards more energy-efficient processes or alternative energy sources. Eastern European countries showing growth may continue expanding their industrial capacities. Monitoring developments in energy policies and technological advancements in these regions will be key to understanding consumption trends.
