Smaller markets like Croatia contracted by 8.78%, whereas several countries, including Spain and Greece, remained stable with no growth in 2023.
Future trends to watch include:
- Increasing demand in Poland and Romania, given their substantial growth rates.
- Potential for market adjustments in Austria and Belgium to reverse recent declines.
- Ongoing stability or potential expansion in countries with consistent consumption, such as Spain and Denmark.
- Opportunities for renewable energy policies to stimulate growth in less active markets.
