The forecast data for Italy's gas oil and diesel oil consumption in maritime bunkers, expressed in thousand terajoules, indicates a gradual decline from 28.25 in 2024 to 27.09 in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1% to 1.1% annually. In 2023, the consumption was slightly higher, baseline data suggests a trend of decreasing consumption. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a steady average decline in consumption.
Future trends to watch for include changes in regulations impacting marine fuel specifications, technological advancements towards greater fuel efficiency, and a potential shift towards alternative fuels, which could further decrease traditional gas and diesel oil demand in this sector.
