In 2023, Norway led European non-metallic minerals exports per capita, showing a modest growth. The Netherlands and Slovenia showed notable increases, while Belgium, Cyprus, and Luxembourg experienced declines. Finland, Germany, and Malta faced significant decreases. Iceland achieved considerable growth, indicating rising demand or improved export strategies. Surprising shrinkage in historically steady markets like Sweden and Malta suggests sector shifts or global market dynamics impacting these countries.
Looking ahead, watch for technological advancements in production, stronger intra-EU partnerships, and potential external demand fluctuations driven by environmental policies and global economic conditions. Continuous growth in digitalization could also reshape supply chain efficiencies.
