In 2023, Germany was the leader in European intermediate consumption for environmental protection activities in water collection, treatment, and supply, with 516.9 million euros, witnessing a 3.68% increase from the previous year. Slovenia followed with 75.5 million euros, showing a robust growth of 4.15%. Belgium and the Netherlands had modest consumption values of 42.9 and 22.0 million euros, respectively, with minimal growth. Portugal displayed a notable 3.71% increase despite its low starting value of 3.6 million euros. Latvia remained unchanged at 0.1 million euros, illustrating stagnant growth in this sector.
Looking forward, several trends are emerging:
- Germany's continued prioritization of environmental protection activities suggests sustained growth in intermediate consumption.
- Slovenia's strong growth could lead to increased regional influence in the environmental sector.
- Belgium and the Netherlands may experience gradual increases in investment, potentially accelerating growth rates.
- Portugal's dynamic growth could attract more business sector engagement in water management.
- Latvia might face challenges unless strategic investments are made to stimulate growth.
