The forecast for Italy's sand and gravel domestic material consumption from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend. The consumption is projected to decrease from 123.33 million metric tons in 2024 to 92.24 million metric tons in 2028. This represents a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) decline of approximately 7% over five years. Compared to 2023 where the actual consumption was higher than 123.33 million metric tons, the year-on-year reductions reflect significant decreases in demand.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of sustainable construction practices, increased recycling efforts, and technological advancements that may further influence the demand for raw materials like sand and gravel.
