In 2023, Finland led European countries in non-ferrous metal direct material inputs per capita, followed by Sweden and Iceland. Serbia and Macedonia showed significant positive growth rates, while Iceland and Cyprus experienced declines. The data indicates a mixed performance with notable gains in some Balkan and Nordic countries and slight declines in key Western European nations such as France and Italy.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in metal recycling and substitution, which may reduce direct material inputs. Economic shifts, regulations impacting industrial sectors, and sustainable practices across Europe will greatly influence the demand and input levels for non-ferrous metals.
