The domestic material consumption of natural gas in Italy is forecasted to decline steadily from 43.4 million metric tons in 2024 to 38.33 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year decrease reflects a consistent downward trend, with the consumption dropping by 2.95% from 2024 to 2025, 3.04% from 2025 to 2026, 3.08% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.16% from 2027 to 2028. This amounts to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.06% over the five-year period. In comparison, the domestic material consumption in 2023 was slightly higher at 44.7 million metric tons.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased focus on renewable energy sources may further reduce natural gas consumption.
Energy efficiency improvements and technological advancements could influence consumption patterns.
Policy shifts and international agreements targeting emissions reductions may impact future consumption.
