In 2023, Germany led the European sand and gravel direct material inputs with the highest share, albeit with a slight decline from the previous year. France and Romania followed, with Romania experiencing a significant increase. Countries like Sweden, Bulgaria, and Serbia recorded notable growth, whereas Italy, the UK, and Belgium faced downturns. Albania's contribution, though modest, surged remarkably by over 20%.
Future trends to observe include technological advancements and environmental policies influencing production and usage. Additionally, shifts in construction demands across Europe may alter the distribution of material inputs, particularly in fast-growing regions. Monitoring these dynamics will be crucial for stakeholders.
