In 2023, Germany leads the European mining and quarrying sector with a substantial environmental ancillary output of 39.9 million Euros, maintaining stability with a marginal increase. Finland follows closely with 36.4 million Euros, experiencing a healthier growth rate of 1.37%. France lags significantly behind at 16.9 million Euros, decreasing slightly from the previous year. Spain, showing notable progress, grew by 3.35% to 14.5 million Euros. Conversely, Portugal’s output increased by 3.16% to achieve 11.1 million Euros. Estonia and Slovenia saw growth at identical rates, despite their smaller output sizes. Lithuania remained unchanged, while Slovakia witnessed a dramatic decrease of 19.73%.
Looking ahead, the trend towards increasing environmental regulation in Europe suggests future growth in ancillary outputs related to environmental protection. Germany and Finland are expected to remain at the forefront, driven by stricter environmental standards and technologies. Emerging markets like Spain and Portugal may continue their upward trajectory, aided by government investments and subsidies. Conversely, countries with declining outputs, like Slovakia, may need strategic revamps to reverse negative trends.
