Spain showed significant growth at 21.2%, while Germany and Belgium faced declines of 3.36% and 8.25% respectively. Ireland's remarkable surge at 41.8% contrasts with steep declines in Bulgaria and Romania. The UK, Austria, and Sweden experienced moderate downturns, while Malta saw an impressive 33.47% increase.

The sector's adaptability to regulatory changes and sustainability initiatives will be crucial.
