The statistic shows the inflation rate in the European Union and the Euro area from 2019 to 2022, with projections up until 2029. The term inflation, also known as currency devaluation (drop in the value of money), is characterized by a steady rise in prices for finished products (consumer goods, capital goods). The consumer price index tracks price trends of private consumption expenditure, and shows an increase in the index's current level of inflation. In 2022, the inflation rate in the EU was about 9.32 percent compared to the previous year. The economic situation in the European Union and the euro area The ongoing Eurozone crisis, which initially emerged in 2009, has dramatically affected most countries in the European Union. The crisis primarily prevented many countries from refinancing their debt without help from a third party and slowed economic growth throughout the entire EU. As a result, general gross debt escalated annually in the euro area and more prominently in the EU. The collective sum of debt is most likely going to continue, given the current global economic situation as well as Europe’s recovering, however struggling economy. Struggles are primarily evident in the EU’s budget balance, which saw itself in the negative every year over the same timeframe as the eurozone crisis, although the balances improved on a yearly basis. Despite economical struggles, the EU still grew in population almost every year over the past decade, primarily due to a high standard of living and job opportunities, compared to many of its surrounding neighbors.

The consumption of natural gas in the European Union has fluctuated since 1998. It increased to a peak of ***** billion cubic meters in 2010, but by 2024 had fallen to around *** billion cubic meters. Natural gas consumption in the EU was only lower than oil consumption, despite the overall decrease. Production of natural gas in decline Although the consumption of natural gas is expected to increase across the region, production in the EU has fallen significantly over the past two decades. By 2023 had fallen by approximately ** percent. EU reliant on Russian exports With the production of natural gas in decline, the EU is expected to become more reliant on international imports. Overall, there was a six percent increase of imports in 2019 when compared to the previous year. Currently, the main exporter of gas to the EU is Russia, who in 2017 exported ** percent of all imports. Plans for a 746-mile gas pipeline from Russia to Germany in the Baltic Sea are set to go ahead. The Nord Stream 2 project has received critics from the US and EU over fears it will increase Europe’s reliance on gas imports from Russia.

This statistic illustrates the consumption volume of palm oil in the European Union from 2011/12 to 2023/24 and provides a forecast for 2024/25. Domestic consumption of palm oil in the EU dropped to about *** million metric tons in 2023/24 and is expected to decrease slightly in 2024/25.

The Meat Processing and Preserving industry in Europe has faced a stark decline over the past five years despite receiving government support. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is forecast to drop at a compound annual rate of 4% to €330.2 billion. Growth in meat consumption has been weak, with environmental and health consciousness among consumers driving a swelling vegan and vegetarian trend. However, public policies, particularly in the EU, have favoured the meat industry over its plant-based counterparts. Even so, meat processing establishments have struggled to sustain sales amid soaring inflation. Meat processors are wrestling with a combination of socioeconomic factors. Geopolitical tensions, notably between Russia and Ukraine, coupled with post-pandemic economic strains, have exerted significant pressure on meat sales. Input costs, including for feed and energy, have surged, forcing processors to pass price hikes onto consumers, who have shifted from buying speciality meat products to settling for lower-margin cuts in response. Revenue is projected to dip by 3.5% in 2024. Looking ahead, Europe’s meat processors face a challenging landscape. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is slated to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to €379.8 billion. The looming shadow of eco-consciousness will stifle meat demand, with the European Commission projecting a 3.6% drop in meat consumption by 2032. Faced with swelling competition from alternative proteins, traditional meat processors will seek innovative strategies to retain market share. Still, meat's engrained cultural value in European societies will offer some relief. Traditional meals, culinary heritage involving meat and strong demand for locally-sourced produce will serve to protect meat processors’ sales over the coming years.

The beer and malt production landscape in Europe is fuelled by the continent's storied cultural affinity for the brew and the evolving tastes of its consumers. Currently, Europe has the highest average alcohol consumption globally, with eight of the top 10 drinking nations within its borders, including the Czech Republic, Austria and France, according to data from the CIA. However, there is a drop occurring, with the average European now drinking 9.5 litres of pure alcohol annually — a significant fall of 21% since the turn of the millennium, according to the World Health Organisation. This decline echoes a growing societal awareness of the risks of alcohol excess and a discernible trend towards more responsible consumption practices. This is projected to cause a shrinking of industry revenue at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2024, including a 3.3% drop in 2024 alone, reaching €70.4 billion. Despite falling alcohol consumption, beer has exceeded traditional spirits and wine as the beverage of choice in many European countries. France, a nation renowned for its wine, has seen beer become the more favoured alcoholic drink of choice, according to a 2023 survey by French wine consultancy firm Sowine. These shifts have bolstered the presence of multinational breweries that capitalised on emerging markets and triggered a flourishing microbrewery segment, illustrating a robust appetite for locally crafted beers. The thirst for artisanal brews is strong in many parts of Europe, with countries like Italy, Germany and France experiencing a surge in microbrewery establishments. This is despite a deceleration in certain regions, like the UK and Spain. Health concerns regarding alcohol consumption are predicted to continue driving a downward trend; more governments are set to introduce regulations to curb excessive drinking, like Scotland's minimum pricing strategy, which has successfully curbed alcohol-related harms. There is a burgeoning opportunity for consolidation within the craft beer segment. Multinationals like InBev and Heineken are poised to leverage this inflexion point as the market matures and the growth of independent microbreweries steadies in some regions. They've already begun strategically acquiring artisan brands, a trend which is likely to hasten. Overall, industry revenue is projected to rise at a compound annual rate of 3% over the five years through 2029, reaching €81.7 billion .

Wine and cider production have long histories in Europe, with the continent making up over half of the world’s production of both drinks. However, despite being home to eight of the top ten alcohol-consuming nations worldwide, Europe is witnessing a slump in alcohol consumption, which raises concerns about wine and cider demand. The World Health Organzation reports that the average alcohol intake per person dropped by 21% between 2000 and 2021. This shift is primarily driven by increased health consciousness, prompting many to limit or even stop their alcohol consumption. These trends have contributed to a drop in revenue over the five years through 2024, at an estimated compound annual rate of 4% to reach €47.4 billion, including a projected 2.7% drop in 2024 alone. European wine producers, who historically dominated global wine production, are also grappling with a slump in production volumes. Major producer countries like France, Italy and Spain, which account for 50.8% of the world's wine production, have seen their output sink by an average of 19.1% since 2018. Furthermore, the prestige of European winemakers is being challenged internationally; for example, Australian wines took most of the Best in Show awards at the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards. Traditional British ciders are also experiencing a shift in demand; while UK consumption has declined by 18.7% between 2018 and 2022, other European countries like Hungary, Portugal and Sweden see increasing interest. Europe's alcohol consumption decline is set to continue as knowledge about the health risks of excessive drinking becomes more widespread. Meanwhile, the consequences of climate change are devastating traditional wine-producing regions around the Mediterranean. This could open opportunities for northern regions like Germany and the UK, which are gaining more suitable conditions for grape cultivation, which could boost their evolving wine industries. Industry revenue is projected to rise over the five years through 2029 at a compound annual rate of 3.5% to reach €56.1 billion.

Consumer sentiment, disposable income levels and drinking habits impact spending on drinking establishments, including pubs, bars, nightclubs and coffee shops. Europe is known for its well-established drinking culture, which varies from country to country. Beer and wine consumption are very popular on the continent, with many countries also major producers of these beverages. However, alcohol consumption per capita in Europe is on a downward trend, hindering demand for drinking establishments. Meanwhile, coffee shops benefit from resilient demand amid a thriving coffee culture on the continent. Industry revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 5.8% to €100.6 billion over the five years through 2025, including a 0.1% drop in 2025. The industry is driven by Europe’s deep-rooted culture of socialising, vibrant nightlife and evolving urban lifestyles. Climbing health consciousness, particularly among younger demographics, is shaping the industry’s performance, weakening per capita alcohol consumption levels across most European countries. Consumers are reducing their alcohol intake or completely cutting it off due to the health benefits of staying sober, presenting challenges to venues that rely on alcohol sales. This shift has forced many establishments to diversify their offerings, adding more non-alcoholic options and high-quality snacks. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the hurdle of surging inflation deterred spending on going out and drinking. Many consumers have since turned to beverages offered at supermarkets as off-trade alcohol prices are lower, hindering revenue over the three years through 2025. Intense competition from supermarkets and restaurants has pressured prices, hindering revenue and profit growth. This, paired with higher operational costs, has weighed on profitability. Industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.7% to €120.4 billion over the five years through 2030. An improving European economy will bolster consumer sentiment and disposable incomes, fuelling spending on on-premise drinking. Premiumisation is set to be an emerging trend, with consumers willing to pay more for craft, high-quality beverages, as well as memorable experiences and entertainment. However, subdued levels of alcohol consumption per capita and escalating competition will limit revenue growth. To combat competition and keep up with changing consumer preferences, drinking establishment operators will have to broaden their offerings, dabbling in more varied non-alcoholic beverage options. Those that fail to do so will struggle in the increasingly competitive market.

Past and future weather extremes across Europe

This repository contains the annual exceedance index data for past and future weather extremes across Europe on NUTS1 scale. The code and an accompanying paper analyzing the impact of this weather extremes on the European agricultural sector on subnational scale will be published during 2023. We use a percentile-based approach to assess the annual exceedance index of the four weather extremes heat waves, cold waves, fire-risk and droughts for the past (1981–2020) and future (2006–2100) [Zhang et al., 2005]. For the past, we used daily weather records on a grid level (around 11 km at the equator) from the ERA5-Land reanalysis dataset, and for future projections, we use modelled daily weather records from EURO-CORDEX [Christensen et al., 2020, Muñoz, 2019]. For past and future fire-risk we use precalculated fire weathernindex data from ERA5 and EURO-CORDEX, respectively [Giannakopoulos et al., 2020]. We used the model average of the following driving GCMs and RCMs for future projections: ICHECs Earth System Model (EC-Earth), MPI-Ms Earth System Model (MPI-ESM-LR), SMHIs Regional Climate Model (RCA4). The baseline period for the historical scenario is 1981–2010, and for future projections 1981–2005. Daily thresholds for heat waves, cold waves, and flash droughts are estimated from the 90th percentile of the daily minimum and maximum temperature, 10th percentile of the daily minimum and maximum temperature, and 30th percentile of the soil volumetric water content (0–28cm), respectively [**Sutanto** et al., 2020]. We use a five days centre data window for all three extreme events to estimate the thresholds from the previously listed baseline periods. The annual exceedance index for heat waves is calculated as the sum of days, at least for three consecutive days; the daily temperature values exceed the thresholds for June, July, and August. For cold waves, the annual exceedance index is the sum of days, at least for three consecutive days; the daily temperature values are below the thresholds for January, February, October, November, and December. In-base, exceedance is calculated using bootstrapping (1000x repetitions) for both extreme events. Heat and cold wave exceedance indices are rescaled to NUTS1 regions using a maximum resampling. We use sequent peak analysis to detect annual flash droughts, remove minor droughts, and pool interdependent droughts for the season from June to October [**Biggs** et al., 2004]. The annual exceedance index of droughts is rescaled to NUTS1 regions by using a mean resampling. Parameters for fire-risk are listed in the table below while.

Parameters of the analysis of the percentile-based extreme.

Type	Variable	Percentile	Window	Min duration	Rescaling	Months	Bootstrapping
Heat wave	tmin and tmax	90	5	3	max	6, 7, 8	yes
Cold wave	tmin and tmax	10	5	3	max	1, 2, 10, 11, 12	yes

The revenue of the domestic built-in oven market in the European Union amounted to $X in 2017, shrinking by -X% against the previous year. The domestic built-in oven consumption continues to indicate a mild drop. The most prominent rate of growth was recorded in 2011, with an increase of X% year-to-year. Over the period under review, the domestic built-in oven market reached its peak figure level of $X in 2008; however, from 2009 to 2017, it stood at a somewhat lower level.In 2017, approx.

In 2024, the EU rabbit meat market increased by 5% to $878M, rising for the third consecutive year after three years of decline. In general, consumption, however, showed a pronounced decrease. The level of consumption peaked at $1.2B in 2012; however, from 2013 to 2024, consumption remained at a lower figure.

The European gas market, valued at approximately €[Estimate based on available market size XX and currency conversion; for example: 100 Billion in 2025], is projected to experience robust growth with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 2.50% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is fueled by several key factors. Increasing industrialization across major European economies like Germany, the UK, and France consistently drives demand for natural gas in manufacturing and power generation. Furthermore, the ongoing transition towards cleaner energy sources presents both challenges and opportunities. While renewable energy adoption is increasing, natural gas remains a crucial bridging fuel, providing reliable baseload power and supporting the intermittent nature of renewables like solar and wind. This role is likely to persist throughout the forecast period, albeit with a gradually decreasing share as renewable capacity expands. However, geopolitical instability and supply chain disruptions remain significant constraints, impacting price volatility and potentially hindering market expansion. The market segmentation reveals a strong presence across various sectors – utilities, industrial, and commercial applications – each exhibiting distinct growth trajectories based on their individual energy needs and regulatory frameworks. Competition among major players, including Chevron Corporation, BP PLC, and TotalEnergies SE, is intense, and future market share will depend heavily on strategic investments in infrastructure, exploration, and diversification of supply sources. The segment-wise analysis reveals a dynamic market landscape. The utilities sector, the largest consumer, will continue to rely heavily on natural gas for electricity generation, though its relative share may decrease due to renewable energy integration. The industrial sector, with its diverse energy needs, shows considerable growth potential, especially in nations with robust manufacturing bases. The commercial sector, although smaller in comparison, is experiencing steady growth driven by increased energy consumption in buildings and businesses. Regional variations are also expected, with countries like Germany and the UK maintaining significant market shares due to their energy consumption patterns and established gas infrastructure. However, southern European nations are also poised for growth, particularly those aiming to reduce reliance on other energy sources. The overall market outlook for the European gas industry is positive, suggesting continued growth despite challenges related to geopolitical factors and the energy transition. Strategic partnerships, technological innovations, and prudent regulatory policies will be crucial for navigating the complexities of this dynamic market and achieving sustainable growth. Recent developments include: September 2022: Russia's Gazprom announced shipping 42.4 million cubic meters (mcm) of natural gas to Europe via Ukraine. The shift was part of a push by Russia to reduce its reliance on the US dollar., September 2022: The Baltic Pipe was inaugurated at Goleniów, Poland, marking the completion of the Baltic Pipe construction. The pipeline connects various countries, viz., Norway, Denmark, Poland, and neighboring countries. With this project, countries can now import up to 10 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas annually from Norway to Poland and transport up to three bcm of gas from Poland to Denmark.. Notable trends are: Utility Sector (i.e., Power Generation) Sector Expected to Dominate the Market.

The EU onion and shallot market dropped to $3.7B in 2024, waning by -2.2% against the previous year. The total consumption indicated a tangible expansion from 2012 to 2024: its value increased at an average annual rate of +3.4% over the last twelve-year period. The trend pattern, however, indicated some noticeable fluctuations being recorded throughout the analyzed period. Based on 2024 figures, consumption decreased by -7.8% against 2021 indices.

Inventory description

The Harmonized IACS inventory of Europe-LAND is a harmonized collection of data from the Geospatial Aid (GSA) system of the Integrated Control and Administration System (IACS), which manages and controls agricultural subsidies in the European Union (EU). The GSA data are a unique data source with field-levels of land use information that are annually generated. The data carry information on crops grown per field, a unique identifier of the subsidy applicants that allows to aggregate fields to farms, information on organic cultivation and animal numbers per farm.

Due to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), we are not allowed to share all data that we collected and harmonized. Therefore, there are two versions of the inventory, a public version and an internal version. The internal version contains more information and covers more countries and years.

The public version contains all data that can be shared following the GDPR of the data providers. It covers 18 countries with time series up to 17 years. For most countries, only the crop information can be shared. However, for 6 countries also the applicant identifier and for two of them also the organic management information can be shared. If you use the data, please also cite the original sources of the data. You can find the references in the provided documentation that is in the "_Documentation.zip".

The crop information were harmonized using the Hierarchical Crop and Agriculture Taxonomy (HCAT) of the EuroCrops project (Schneider et al., 2023). To allow for interoperability with EuroCrops, the harmonized Europe-LAND data come with the same column names that relate to the crop information. All crop mapping tables can be found in our GitHub repository.

Column names:

• field_id (mandatory): Unique identifier for each field per country, state or region
• farm_id (optional): Unique identifier for each applicant per country, state, or region
• crop_code (mandatory): The original, country-specific crop code
• crop_name (mandatory): The original, country-specific crop name
• EC_trans_n (mandatory): The original crop name translated into English
• EC_hcat_n (mandatory): The machine-readable HCAT name of the crop
• EC_hcat_c (mandatory): The 10-digit HCAT code indicating the hierarchy of the crop
• organic (optional): Indicates whether a field was organically cultivated or not. Values: [0,1]
• field_size (mandatory): Size of field in hectares
• crop_area (optional): Area in hectares of crop reported in crop column. This occurs only if multiple crops are reported per parcel and refers to the area of the main crop.

More detailed information for all countries in our harmonized inventory (including those that are not publicly available) can also be found in the documentation.

The inventory will be updated at least annually. In future versions, we will add a new crop classification, harmonized animal data, and harmonized agri-environmental measures/eco-schemes.

The Europe newsprint market rose to $3.1B in 2024, increasing by 1.8% against the previous year. Over the period under review, consumption, however, saw a perceptible decrease. The level of consumption peaked at $5.7B in 2012; however, from 2013 to 2024, consumption remained at a lower figure.

This table contains figures on the supply and consumption of energy broken down by sector and by energy commodity. The energy supply is equal to the indigenous production of energy plus the receipts minus the deliveries of energy plus the stock changes. Consumption of energy is equal to the sum of own use in the energy sector, distribution losses, final energy consumption, non-energy use and the total net energy transformation. For each sector, the supply of energy is equal to the consumption of energy.

For some energy commodities, the total of the observed domestic deliveries is not exactly equal to the sum of the observed domestic receipts. For these energy commodities, a statistical difference arises that can not be attributed to a sector.

The breakdown into sectors follows mainly the classification as is customary in international energy statistics. This classification is based on functions of various sectors in the energy system and for several break downs on the international Standard Industrial Classification. There are two main sectors: the energy sector (companies with main activity indigenous production or transformation of energy) and energy consumers (other companies, vehicles and dwellings). In accordance with international conventions, own use of energy companies only occurs within the energy sector and final energy consumption only for energy consumers. In addition to a breakdown by sector, there is also a breakdown by energy commodity, such as coal, various petroleum products, natural gas, renewable energy, electricity and heat.

The definitions used in this table are exactly in line with the definitions in the Energy Balance table; supply, transformation and consumption. That table does not contain a breakdown by sector (excluding final energy consumption), but it does provide information about imports, exports and bunkering and also provides more detail about the energy commodities.

Data available: From: 1990.

Status of the figures: Figures up to and including 2016 are definite. Figures of 2017 are revised provisional. Figures of 2018 are provisional.

Changes as of 24 June 2019: Revised provisional figures of 2018 have been added.

Changes as of 27 February 2019: There are two corrections: The first correction relates to figures for supply of natural gas and electricity in services sectors for 2016. Consequently, final energy consumption of natural gas is now 6 PJ higher and of electricity 1 PJ lower for 2016. This correction was needed because something went wrong in compiling the input file for the energy balance database for figures on services. This correction affects higher aggregates like total energy consumption and all energy products. The second correction relates to final energy consumption in the period 1990 up to and including 2014. The own use of some energy products by companies in the energy sector was accidently also shown as final energy consumption, whereas final energy consumption is by definition not possible for the energy sector. Additionally some sectors data for final energy consumption was missing. This correction was needed, because something went wrong in the translation from the Energy balance database to StatLine. This correction does not affect aggregates at the highest level. Furthermore, the underlying codes of the classifications used in this table have been adjusted. These are now in line with the standard codes set by Statistics Netherlands. The structure of the table is not adjusted. Finally, the use of the symbols '.' and 'Empty cell' for period 1990 up to and including 2017 has been adjusted.

Changes as of 18 December 2018:

In December 2018 the Energy balance has been revised and corrected, concerning the following items:

1. Energy consumption in the chemical industry has been corrected for the years 2012 up to and including 2017. The adjustment results from a correction in the underlying energy data of a few large chemical enterprises. The supplied data from these companies for energy statistics appeared not complete, because the demarcation of the companies was unclear. This incompleteness was discovered by comparing data supplied to Statistics Netherlands with data supplied to the ETS system and data supplied to environmental annual reports. A result of this correction is that final consumption of natural gas is on average 22 PJ higher for the years 2012 up to and including 2017, final consumption of refinery gas is on average 12 PJ higher and electricity consumption is 1 PJ higher. These corrections affect calculated emissions of carbon dioxide which on average are 1.3 Mton higher for the years 2012 up to and including 2017.
2. Non-energy consumption in the chemical industry for the years 1990 up to and including 2017 has been adjusted downwards. A large not plausible change in the use of non-energy consumption of one company triggered additional research on the data of this company considering historical capacity, the rate of utilisation of the capacity, the efficiency and the relation with a neighbouring company. Result of this research was mainly a decrease of the non-energy use and the imports of oil with on average 50 PJ per year.
3. For the years 2015 up to and including 2017 data on bunkers of heavy fuel oil were not plausible. Additional research resulted in improvement of underlying data and figures are now about 20 PJ lower for 2015 and 2016.
4. For coal transit to other countries and stock changes of trading companies have been eliminated from published data. The reasons for this is a request from Eurostat to interpret the statistical regulation in such way that imports only relate to coal for inland consumption. Consequently, the exports of coal is now zero. Coal consumption has not been adapted.
5. In the energy balance (supply and consumption) now three types of coal are distinguished for the years 1990 up to and including 2014. This was already the case for the more recent years.
6. For solar photovoltaic Statistics Netherlands introduced a new method using administrative data. Consequently, the data for the production of solar photovoltaic have been adapted from 2012 onwards. In addition there is improved insight in which part of the solar photovoltaic is consumed by the producers resulting in an increased final consumption of electricity, mainly in the services sector, up to 1 PJ in 2017.
7. Within renewable energy a new energy commodity has been added: ambient energy. This is energy from below the soil surface, the atmosphere or surface water extracted by heat pumps. This adaptation follows Eurostat as a consequence of the adaptation of the EU regulation on energy statistics. The amount of ambient energy, produced and consumed in the sectors services, households and agriculture increases from almost negligible to 7 PJ in 2017.
8. Electricity consumption of the coke-oven plants has been shifted from input for transformations to own use to better follow the Eurostat method.

Further the aggregate 'Total other energy commodities' and the sector 'Water supply, waste management unknown' have been added.

When will new figures be published? Revised provisional figures: June/July and December of the following year. Definite figures: December of the second following year.

The EU peach and nectarine market fell to $4.6B in 2024, dropping by -3.7% against the previous year. Overall, consumption, however, showed a relatively flat trend pattern. As a result, consumption reached the peak level of $4.7B, and then dropped in the following year.

The Europe mandarin and clementine market dropped modestly to $5.7B in 2024, declining by -3.1% against the previous year. The market value increased at an average annual rate of +3.6% from 2012 to 2024; the trend pattern indicated some noticeable fluctuations being recorded throughout the analyzed period. The level of consumption peaked at $5.8B in 2023, and then dropped modestly in the following year.

Sugar processing in Europe has undergone a turbulent period brought on by volatile prices and government strategies to reduce consumption. Driven by measures to curb sugar intake, several European countries, including Belgium, Estonia, France, Hungary, Norway and the UK, have imposed taxes on sugary drinks. Some have even taxed sugary foods. Food and drink manufacturers are altering their recipes by reducing sugar and substituting it with other sweeteners. This has depressed sales of sugars. Despite falling sugar consumption in Europe, sugar processing revenue saw an uptick as sugar prices have spiralled, with two major price surges in 2021 and 2023. These increases resulted from rising costs for sugar beet farmers and processors, alongside adverse climate conditions in key sugar-producing nations. Sugar processors have passed on cost rises to consumers, which has supported both revenue and profit since 2021. However, this sugar revenue trend may not hold for 2024. As farming and processing costs ease, a decrease in sugar revenue is expected within the year. Sugar processing revenue is set to rise at a compound annual rate of 0.9% over the five years through 2024 to €31.4 billion, with a 3.6% drop in 2024. Looking ahead, sugar processors will likely continue to face challenges. Slowing sugar sales are anticipated due to a projected reduction in sugar prices over the medium term. However, the more significant obstacle lies in the evolving health consciousness among Europeans, which suggests a continuing trend of reduced sugar consumption. This trend, coupled with increased governmental measures such as sugar taxes, will drive people away from high-sugar diets. The harmful health impacts of sugar, including weight gain, diabetes and high blood pressure, are causing consumers to rethink their sugar intake. These factors pose significant threats to sugar processors in the future. Revenue is projected to rise at a compound annual rate of 3.9% over the five years through 2029, reaching €38 billion.
