In 2023, France led the European Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) consumption in mining and quarrying, with a slight increase of 0.61% from the previous year, while Greece and Poland exhibited significant growths of 5.61% and 12.55%, respectively. While some countries like Austria and Serbia experienced notable increases (14.07% and 58.41%), others, including Sweden (-2.09%) and Spain (-9.13%), saw declines. Hungary had the most substantial reduction at -34.19%. Over five years, consistent growth metrics highlight the dynamism within LPG consumption, particularly in Eastern and Southern European countries.
Future trends to watch include:
- The potential impact of environmental regulations on LPG consumption, particularly in countries with high growth rates like Serbia and Romania.
- The role of technological upgrades and efficiencies in moderating LPG demand across the sector.
- The influence of economic conditions on mining and quarrying activities, which could alter LPG consumption patterns in major European economies.
