In 2023, Spain led European production of gypsum and anhydrite with 15.362 billion kilograms, followed by Germany (2.971 billion kg) and France (2.6251 billion kg). Spain exhibited strong growth with a year-on-year variation of 7.72%, while France saw a significant decline of 13.16%. Italy showed considerable growth at 16.98%, whereas countries like Austria, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, and Sweden had stable outputs. The Czech Republic experienced a drastic decrease of 100%. Over the last five years, the average variations (CAGR) indicated a mixed performance across the region.
Looking ahead, the European production of gypsum and anhydrite will likely focus on stabilizing outputs while addressing environmental and sustainability concerns. Trends such as technological advancements in extraction methods, increasing demand for eco-friendly building materials, and regulatory changes will be critical to watch. Emphasis on renewable energy sources and circular economy principles may also influence future production patterns in this sector.
