In 2023, the final consumption of coke oven coke in Italy's non-ferrous metal sector was approximately 1.69 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend, with consumption expected to decrease from 1.67 to 1.58 over these years, representing a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -1.08%. Year-on-year decreases are subtle but consistent, averaging around -1.19% annually over the period. This suggests a gradual reduction in reliance on coke oven coke in this sector, possibly due to technological advancements or shifts towards alternative materials or energy sources.
Future trends to watch include increasing developments in technology that may further reduce the sector's reliance on coke oven coke, alongside potential shifts towards more sustainable production methods and materials. Additionally, monitoring regulatory changes and their impact on the non-ferrous metal industry will be essential, as they may further influence consumption patterns.
