Pb Lead products

Classes of lead products in the common family layout – plate, sheet and strip; unwrought metal (feedstock); unwrought alloys (feedstock); powders and dust; anodes and other articles; derived products – within a family by material (unalloyed lead, lead alloys), with plants according to primary documents and EU-27 trade with non-EU countries. Refined lead and unwrought alloys are feedstock (the main products of primary and secondary smelters), while lead oxides and lead-acid batteries are derived products, outside the lead products trade total.

A plant entry is made only from a primary document; plants without a document are not entered, so plant counts are a lower bound. Scope: aluminium, copper, lead, zinc.

‡ – EU-27 sold production by PRODCOM refers to the whole group of classes with a shared code (do not add up across rows); E – Eurostat estimate, R – rounded figure. Intra-EU trade – arrivals reported by EU countries. Source: Eurostat, PRODCOM and Comext, products dataset 2.2.

Plants, countries and groups – entries “produced”. Trade: EU-27 with non-EU countries, last full year, source: Eurostat Comext – EU trade by CN8 (DS-045409). * Trade shared with a class of the same CN code – do not add up. † The class is outside the metal trade total (mass of another product or a chemical compound). Tonnes of different metals are never added up – header figures and trade totals are given separately for each metal.
