In 2023, Germany led the European import share of unwrought zinc alloys, with Italy and France contributing significant portions. Other key contributors included the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria, among others. Year-on-year changes showed modest growth in Germany and significant increases in Poland, Sweden, and Ireland. Conversely, Austria, Portugal, and Denmark experienced notable declines. Emerging markets like Estonia and Finland are showing a remarkable upward trajectory. The five-year average growth highlights stability in this sector.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential growth in Eastern European countries, fostered by increased industrial demand.
- The potential impact of environmental regulations on zinc production and imports.
- The influence of global economic conditions on zinc supply and pricing in Europe.
- Technological advancements in zinc recycling and processing that could alter import volumes.
