The 2023 data shows France leading in Uranium and Thorium direct material inputs within Europe, followed by Germany and the United Kingdom. France experienced a 5.49% growth, while Germany and the UK saw declines of 1.17% and 21.4% respectively. Remarkably, Italy showed significant growth at 17.88%, whereas Portugal and Poland faced notable decreases. Luxembourg experienced the largest growth rate at 112.43%, albeit from a smaller base.

Countries like Slovakia, Croatia, and Luxembourg may continue their growth trends, prompting shifts in regional input shares. Economic and regulatory changes, particularly regarding sustainable energy and geopolitical influences, could affect uranium and thorium sourcing, thereby impacting forecasted trends.
