In the Italian non-ferrous metals sector, the forecasted final consumption of solid fossil fuels shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 45.48 thousand metric tons in 2024, consumption declines year-on-year, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflecting a minor negative trend. Compared to a stabilized consumption in 2023, this steady reduction indicates ongoing industry adjustments or improvements in energy efficiency and shifts toward alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increased adoption of renewable energy technologies.
- Potential regulatory changes affecting fossil fuel usage.
- Investments in cleaner production processes within the sector.
- Global market impacts on fossil fuel demand and supply balances.
