In 2023, Spain led the European public water supply to paper manufacturing with 17.88 million cubic meters. The Netherlands and Germany followed, despite Germany's slight decline. Notable growth was seen in Croatia's supply, surging by 41.26%. Conversely, countries like Slovenia and Belgium noted significant declines. Malta experienced a drastic reduction, with a 100% decrease in public water supply.
Future trends to watch include increased investments in water-saving technologies and efficiency improvements, particularly in countries experiencing water supply volatility. With an emphasis on sustainability, the sector may shift towards more eco-friendly practices, potentially affecting water usage patterns and distribution in the coming years.
