In 2023, the petroleum coke consumption in Italy's non-metallic minerals sector was an estimated 40.83 thousand terajoules. From 2024 to 2028, the consumption is forecasted to increase steadily from 41.23 to 42.82 thousand terajoules. The year-on-year growth rates are projected to hover around 1% annually, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 1% over this five-year period (2024-2028).
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of increasing environmental regulations on petroleum coke usage, potentially affecting demand.
- Innovations in energy efficiency within the sector, which could modify consumption patterns.
- Shifts in global and local economic conditions that may influence industrial demand for non-metallic minerals.
