In 2023, the number of waste collection enterprises in Italy was recorded at 1.56 thousand. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 predicts a gradual decline, with the number of enterprises reducing from 1.53 thousand in 2024 to 1.4 thousand in 2028. This represents a consistent negative year-on-year percentage change with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that emphasizes the declining trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Regulatory changes impacting waste management policies in Italy.
- Technological advancements in waste collection and recycling.
- Market consolidation which might reduce the number of enterprises further.
- Increased emphasis on sustainability and circular economy models.
