In 2023, Sweden led the European domestic extraction of metals with 92.73 million metric tons, marking a moderate growth of 2.63% from the previous year. Bulgaria and Finland followed with approximately 34 million metric tons each, each showing incremental growth. Poland saw a marginal increase to 31.89 million metric tons. Spain and Austria experienced notable increases of 3.06% and 3.75% respectively, while countries like Portugal, Ireland, and Macedonia faced declines in extraction volumes. Notably, France had a significant reduction at 43.96%, and Cyprus also experienced a substantial decrease of 16.02%.
For future trends in the European domestic extraction of metals, watch for potential growth in Eastern European countries which are investing in mining infrastructure. Additionally, shifts towards more sustainable extraction processes could affect both volumes and economic value. Monitoring policies related to environmental impacts and trade could also influence future extraction volumes across Europe.
