The Non-Metallic Minerals Sector in Italy is forecasted to increase its final consumption of non-renewable industrial waste from 8.82 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 9.68 thousand terajoules by 2028. This reflects a consistent annual growth in consumption—approximately 2.5% year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is projected around 2.37%. The sector's interest in non-renewable industrial waste appears to be on the rise, indicating ongoing reliance on such resources.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Increasing emphasis on sustainability could drive shifts towards renewable alternatives or recycling methods to offset non-renewable waste consumption.
- Technological advancements in processing and resource efficiency could affect consumption patterns.
