The forecasted imports of coke oven coke into Italy are projected to incrementally rise from 5.04 thousand gigawatthours in 2024 to 5.35 thousand gigawatthours by 2028. This steady increase translates to a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 1.6% from 2024 to 2025, 1.56% from 2025 to 2026, 1.54% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.33% from 2027 to 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period suggests an average annual increase of around 1.55%.
Going forward, factors influencing these trends include shifts in industrial energy demand, Italy's transition towards energy efficiency and sustainability, and potential geopolitical impacts on supply chains. Future considerations should also include the adoption of alternative materials and green technologies impacting the coal and coke sectors.
