The European Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) consumption in the non-ferrous metals sector saw Norway leading with substantial usage, significantly rising by nearly 12% in the past year. Sweden maintained stable usage with a slight decrease, while Italy saw moderate growth at 5%. Finland and Ukraine experienced notable declines, with Finland down by over 11% and Ukraine reducing by 16%. Romania marked remarkable growth, increasing its consumption by over 90% in 2023. Modest changes were observed in most other countries, with some such as Austria and Bosnia & Herzegovina seeing double-digit growth.
Future trends to watch include a potential increase in LPG consumption in countries improving industrial efficiency and production capacity. With ongoing environmental regulations, countries may shift towards cleaner energy sources, potentially impacting LPG usage. Monitoring the political and economic landscapes, especially in Eastern Europe, will be vital as geopolitical tensions and economic reforms could significantly influence LPG consumption patterns.
