The forecast for coal tar gross inland consumption in Italy shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing annually from -159 GWh in 2024 to -175.94 GWh in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.7% from 2024 to 2025, and similar reductions in subsequent years. From 2023, when measured values stood at -155.96 GWh, these forecasts continue a downward trend, indicating a sustained reduction over time. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is approximately -2.59%. This declining trend is significant for assessing the gradual decline of coal tar usage over time.
Future trends to watch include the increasing shift towards renewable energy sources and regulatory changes that may further influence the gradual phasing out of coal tar consumption.
