The forecast for the consumption of primary solid biofuels in Italy's paper, pulp, and printing sectors shows stability in 2024 and 2025 with a predicted consumption of 110.0 tonnes of oil equivalent, matching previous year's data. A noticeable upward trend is seen from 2026, with a gradual year-on-year increase, culminating in 140.0 tonnes in 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years indicative of a moderate but steady rise in solid biofuels consumption. The period before 2024 featured lower consumption levels, setting the stage for the observed increase.

Future trends to watch include:

Investment in biofuel technologies that could potentially impact supply and price dynamics.
Legislative changes impacting environmental policies and energy consumption regulations.
Advancements in energy efficiency in the paper, pulp, and printing industries that may alter biofuel demand patterns.
