In 2023, Belgium led the European import of ferro-alloys with 23.03%, followed by Spain at 17.32% and Italy at 11.67%. Substantial decreases were observed in several countries: the Netherlands and Germany saw sharp declines of over 36%, while the UK and France fell by over 16%. Sweden, Slovenia, and Luxembourg experienced moderate declines of around 5-7%. Meanwhile, smaller importers like Ireland and Slovakia also recorded notable reductions.
Looking ahead, European import patterns may reveal shifts due to supply chain adjustments and domestic resource optimization. Monitoring innovation in alloy production, geopolitical tensions, and environmental policies will be essential to anticipate further changes.
