In 2023, the European non-metallic minerals sector's final consumption of solid fossil fuels showed Germany and Ukraine leading with significant usage, while countries like Finland and Hungary experienced declining trends. Positive growth was noted in Romania, Croatia, and Cyprus. Over the past five years, the long-term compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a mixed trend with some countries showing reductions and others moderate gains. The sector remains diverse with notable variations across countries.
Future trends to watch include the potential shift towards greener alternatives due to environmental regulations, which could further drive down consumption of solid fossil fuels in the sector. Policies promoting renewable energy adoption are likely to impact the entire European landscape, creating varied implications for each nation.
