Luxembourg

2024 Report

Full data release with tables here.

In 2024, Luxembourg was not a globally significant producer of mineral commodities. Production in the manufacturing, construction, and mining and quarrying sectors respectively contributed 7.5%, 3.0%, and 0.03% to the country’s total output. Mineral commodities produced in Luxembourg included cement, raw steel, and steel products. The legislative framework for the mineral sector in Luxembourg is provided by the Law of April 21,1810, on Mines, Mining, and Quarries, amended by the Law of May 10,1898, and implemented by the Grand-Ducal Decree last amended November 5, 1955. Additional mining legislation includes the Law of June 12, 1874, on the Regime of Iron Mines and Ore, amended July 26, 1975; and the Law of April 17, 2018, on Territorial Planning, amended February 1, 2021, and implemented by Grand-Ducal Decree last amended October 25, 2024. Most mineral commodities were produced by private companies with foreign ownership (Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, 1810, 1874, 2018; National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, 2025). 

ArcelorMittal S.A., headquartered in Luxembourg, was one of the world’s leading steel producers operating in 15 countries. In 2024, the company produced 57.9 million metric tons (Mt) of raw steel world-wide. In Luxembourg, Arcelor Mittal produced 1.8 Mt of raw steel and 1.8 Mt of steel products. Data on mineral production are in the Production table (formerly table 1). The Facilities table (formerly table 2) is a list of major mineral industry facilities. More-extensive coverage of government policies and programs can be found in previous editions of this chapter in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook, volume III, Area Reports—International—Europe and Central Eurasia, which are available at https://www.usgs.gov/centers/national-minerals-information-center/europ… (ArcelorMittal S.A., 2025, p. 3).
