In 2023, Italy’s road freight volume of secondary raw materials, municipal, and other wastes stood at an estimated level that precedes a gradual forecasted growth. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests consistent year-on-year increases, with volumes rising from 94.6 million metric tons in 2024 to 97.74 million metric tons in 2028. This reflects a steady percentage increase annually, indicating moderate but stable expansion in this freight market.

Future trends to watch for:

Emerging regulations and policies aimed at waste management and recycling, influencing demand and logistics.
Advancements in sustainable technologies and digital logistics solutions, potentially impacting efficiency and operational costs.
Evolving consumer behaviors and industrial demands that might affect the volume of secondary raw materials.
Changes in international and domestic economic conditions impacting the broader logistics sector.
