In 2023, Italy led fossil energy consumption in the European textile and leather sector. The UK and France faced the steepest declines in consumption, while the Czech Republic observed a notable increase. Ireland also exhibited significant growth, contrasting with Denmark and Estonia, which saw substantial reductions. Over the last five years, consumption trends largely mirrored economic conditions, energy transitions, and regional industrial dynamics.
Future trends to watch include a shift toward sustainable practices and renewable energy sources. Countries are likely to diversify energy sources, impacting consumption patterns and potentially intensifying a EU-wide focus on carbon neutrality and green technologies in production processes.
