The 2023 data illustrates that Greece and Macedonia are dominant in European Nickel direct material inputs, with shares of 49.94 and 33.6 thousand metric tons respectively. Notable changes over the past year include sharp increases for Cyprus (169.62%), Slovakia (33.21%), Serbia (31.95%), Estonia (38.78%), and Albania (53.42%). Germany and Poland showed modest increases, while Italy, the Netherlands, and Austria experienced declines. Over the past five years, annual variations highlight significant volatility in minor markets such as Cyprus and Albania.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of increased production from smaller markets and shifts due to geopolitical factors and economic policies. Strategic alliances or changes in nickel demand, particularly from the electric vehicle sector, could significantly affect country shares in the years ahead.
