In 2023, Italy had a small number of young high-growth enterprises, specifically in the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply sectors. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show relative stability, with a slight dip in numbers from 2026 onward. The values remain constant in 2024 and 2025, but a decrease is observed from 2026, stabilizing at a slightly lower value through 2028. Year-on-year variation demonstrates a diminishing interest or entry of gazelles in this sector, which may suggest a maturing market or competitive pressures.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in energy supply that could stimulate growth.
Regulatory changes impacting new enterprise viability.
Potential increase in demand for sustainable energy solutions driving sector growth.
