In 2023, Italy's coke oven coke consumption stood at a higher level compared to forecasted values, highlighting a declining trend. From 2024 to 2028, coke consumption is projected to consistently decrease, with values dropping from 13.94 to 11.07 thousand terajoules. This indicates a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period. Year-on-year, the percentage declines vary, but all point towards a downward trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

Italy's shift towards more sustainable energy sources which could further reduce coke consumption.
Technological advancements in steel production could decrease reliance on coke oven coke.
Potential policy changes targeting carbon emissions could accelerate this declining trend.
