In 2023, Sweden and the Netherlands dominated the European export of iron ore by weight, accounting for nearly all exports. Other countries like Finland, Bulgaria, and Germany had minuscule shares, with Finland and Bulgaria having the highest growth in exports. At the same time, significant declines were observed in Romania and Slovakia. Denmark showed an extraordinary surge, albeit from a small base. The five-year CAGR indicates stagnant or negative growth in most countries, except the leaders.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts towards sustainability and technological improvements, which could rebalance the share distribution. Sweden and the Netherlands might consolidate their positions, while smaller players could explore niche markets.
