In 2023, the consumption of non-renewable industrial waste in Italy's chemical and petrochemical sectors stood at 3.36 thousand terajoules. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual increase, with a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 2.33% between 2024 and 2028. Over this period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be 2.33%, highlighting a steady upward trend in non-renewable industrial waste consumption.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes that might incentivize reduction in non-renewable waste usage and shifts toward cleaner energy alternatives, potentially altering the growth trajectory in this sector.
