The European non-ferrous metals sector displays significant geographical variance in the final consumption of natural gas, with Germany leading in 2023 at 20.3 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Notable year-on-year increases occurred in Greece and Bulgaria, with Greece experiencing a remarkable 17.85% rise, while Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lithuania faced substantial declines. Over a five-year CAGR period, subtle fluctuations are observable, with some countries demonstrating consistent demand.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of energy efficiency measures and the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources within the sector, which could reduce overall reliance on natural gas across Europe. Additionally, geopolitical shifts might influence the regional distribution and consumption levels.
