The non-metallic minerals imports to the Netherlands have experienced significant fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2023, the volume showed periods of both decline and growth. The lowest point was in 2017 with 38.97 million metric tons, and a notable recovery occurred in subsequent years, reaching 46.36 million metric tons by 2023.
Year-on-year variations from 2022 to 2023 indicate a marginal increase of 0.23%, while the last two years saw an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.6%. Notably, 2022 exhibited a robust growth of 10.87%, contrasting with a modest increment in 2023.
The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a relatively stable trend with slight increases each year, showing a near-flat growth rate. The 5-year forecast CAGR is projected to be 0.22%, which implies a steady but minimal upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global supply chain disruptions, environmental regulations affecting mining and distribution, and technological advancements in alternative materials that could influence the demand for non-metallic minerals.
