Europe’s BBQ charcoal briquette market is projected to expand at a CAGR of approximately 5.4% between 2025 and 2030, driven by rising interest in outdoor leisure and culinary diversity. Countries like Germany, France, and the UK are key contributors, where consumers embrace grilling as both a cultural tradition and a modern lifestyle trend. Stringent environmental and safety regulations act as both a driver and a restraint limiting imports of uncertified charcoal while encouraging innovation in sustainable production. Opportunities are growing for compressed biomass briquettes made from agricultural waste, as well as certified low-emission variants. The trend toward organic food and clean energy aligns with the demand for smokeless, additive-free charcoal options. However, the high cost of raw materials and logistical hurdles in certain EU markets create barriers for smaller producers. The rise of vegan BBQ alternatives is also shifting the fuel performance requirements, pushing demand for uniform, high-temperature, and controllable briquettes suitable for varied cooking applications.
