The European Non-Ferrous Metals sector's natural gas consumption in 2023 showed Germany leading with reductions, while Greece experienced a significant rise. Spain, Ireland, and Portugal also saw noteworthy increases, unlike Lithuania and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which declined sharply. Over the last five years, the sector has seen modest annual changes, reflecting a stable but slightly declining trend in major economies.
Looking forward, future trends will likely be influenced by energy transition policies, increased focus on sustainability, and emerging technologies aimed at efficiency. Shifts in geopolitical dynamics may also dictate supply stability and cost implications, impacting consumption levels across Europe.
