A CRMA demand metric for strategic raw materials consumed in processed form by Union-established undertakings.
Annual consumption is the denominator for CRMA capacity benchmarks. It is not a company purchase record by itself; it provides the demand baseline against which Union extraction, processing, and recycling capacities are assessed, excluding strategic raw materials incorporated in intermediate or final products.
This page is anchored in CRMA Article 2, point 12. The metric is about undertakings established in the Union and strategic raw materials in processed form; it excludes strategic raw materials incorporated in intermediate or final products placed on the Union market and is not product-level material content.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials
an aggregate of the amount of strategic raw materials consumed by undertakings established in the Union in processed form, excluding strategic raw materials incorporated in intermediate or final products placed on the Union market

Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with CRMA capacity/supply-chain policy: separates extraction, processing, recycling, demand baselines, material flows, exploration stages, and strategic-stock evidence.
Implementation records should capture material identifier, consumption year, demand scenario, volume unit, data source, Union scope, sector/use assumptions, benchmark link, revision/version, and calculation note.
Annual consumption of strategic raw materials is the demand-baseline control for CRMA evidence. It should connect material, year, unit, source, scenario, and benchmark calculations so 10%, 40%, and 25% capacity claims use the right denominator.
