In 2023, France leads in domestic material consumption of chemical and fertiliser minerals with 12.29 million metric tons, although it saw a slight decline of 0.09% from the previous year. Spain follows with 5.35 million metric tons, down by 1.23%, and the United Kingdom at 3.23 million metric tons after a significant decrease of 4.26%. Italy experienced notable growth at 9.72%. Germany's consumption dropped by 1.36%, while Poland and Hungary showed marginal increases. Regions like Luxembourg, Portugal, and Croatia observed declines. Future trends indicate Estonia’s consumption sharply increased by 13.52%, and countries like Serbia and Latvia also showed marked upticks.
For future trends, pay attention to significant growth in countries like Italy, Serbia, and Estonia. The overall stability in Poland and Hungary's consumption rates contrasts with the stark decreases seen in France and the United Kingdom. Volatility can be expected in smaller markets, and potential large-scale shifts might occur in response to industrial policy changes and sustainability initiatives within the EU.
