In 2023, Germany led European aluminium hours worked with 46.025 million hours, despite a year-on-year decrease of 1.5%. Poland showed strong growth at 33.31 million hours, marking a 14.09% increase. Italy, Spain, Norway, and the United Kingdom experienced slight declines, while Romania and Greece showed positive growth. Austria and Finland had small positive variations, while Belgium saw the most significant decline of 6.32%. Smaller markets like Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herzegovina exhibited modest increases or stability, while Luxembourg remained the smallest market with a minor decline.
Future trends to watch for include the potential for Poland and Romania to continue their growth trajectories, driven by increased industrial demand. In contrast, markets such as Belgium and Hungary may need targeted investments to reverse negative trends. Monitoring technological advancements and environmental regulations will be crucial for predicting long-term shifts in hours worked across the European aluminium sector.
