This report presents the results of a joint research project by the European Investment Bank Group and the European Commission (DG ENV) to assess the circular economy investment gap in the EU.
Annual investments have reached around €120 billion but there is still an investment gap of around €82 billion per year between 2025 and 2040. Gaps are most significant in circular design and end of life infrastructure, and in key sectors such as construction, batteries and vehicles, and textiles.
The report highlights persistent market failures and investment barriers and outlines how EU regulation can help markets to develop and how coordinated EU and EIB financing and advisory action can mobilise investments and accelerate Europe’s circular transition.
Cities and regions across Europe are facing similar challenges - at different stages and in different contexts - when implementing the circular transition.
