In 2024, the forecast for gas oil and diesel oil consumption in Italy's non-metallic minerals sector is 550.89 GWh, following a value of 552.0 GWh in 2023. This indicates a slight decline, with a year-on-year variation of approximately -0.20%. The period from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent downward trend, with an annual decrease of about -0.20% each year, cumulating in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -0.20%. This downward trajectory suggests a gradual reduction in fossil fuel reliance.
Future trends to watch for include the sector's potential shifts towards more sustainable energy sources and innovations that enhance energy efficiency, influenced by regulatory pressures and economic incentives.
