Forecast: Treatment and Disposal of Hazardous Waste Number of Enterprises in Italy

Between 2024 and 2028, the number of enterprises involved in the treatment and disposal of hazardous waste in Italy is stable, decreasing slightly from 136 in 2024 and 2025 to 135 from 2026 onwards. This stability suggests a mature market with limited entry of new businesses. The 2023 figure is unavailable for direct comparison, and the year-on-year variations for 2024 and 2025 show no change, while a slight decline is observed from 2026. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is marginally negative, reflecting a potential contraction in this sector.

Future trends to watch for include increased regulatory pressures on waste management, shifts in industrial production patterns affecting hazardous waste volumes, and technological advancements that could enhance waste reprocessing efficiency, potentially impacting the number of enterprises.
