In 2023, Italy's domestic material consumption of biomass for food and feed was projected at approximately 111.9 million metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, a downward trend is forecasted, with values declining from 111.21 to 108.61 million metric tons, indicating a consistent decrease. The year-on-year variation shows a steady decline of about 0.6% annually. This sustained reduction corresponds to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.57% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch:
- Sustainable farming practices may further influence biomass consumption.
- Policy changes in agricultural sustainability could impact future forecasts.
- Technological innovation in biomass utilization may alter consumption patterns.
