The forecast for desalinated water abstraction for public water supply in Italy shows a slight decline from 2024 to 2028, standing at 3.65 million cubic meters in 2024 and decreasing to 3.6 million cubic meters by 2028. In 2023, the abstraction was also 3.65 million cubic meters. The year-on-year percentage variation shows minor decreases, reflecting a stable yet lightly declining trend over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is negative, indicating a slight contraction over the five years.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in desalination processes that could influence cost and efficiency, potential changes in water demand due to climate-related impacts, and government policies aimed at addressing water scarcity which might affect abstraction volumes.
