The domestic material consumption of non-metallic minerals in Italy is on a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.61 thousand kilograms per capita in 2024 and reaching 1.96 in 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decrease: 6.51% in 2025, 6.56% in 2026, 7.02% in 2027, and 7.55% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is approximately -7.12%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential policy shifts towards sustainability, which could accelerate or moderate consumption declines.
- Advancements in construction technologies or alternative materials affecting non-metallic mineral usage.
- Economic factors influencing infrastructure development and renovation affecting demand.
