The forecast for the non-ferrous metals sector in Italy indicates a steady decline in the final consumption of solid fossil fuels from 299.72 GWh in 2024 to 268.87 GWh in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease, with a compounding annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reflecting a downward trend.

Notable future trends to watch for include:

The impact of Italy’s energy transition policies aimed at reducing fossil fuel dependence and promoting renewable energy sources.
The potential influence of technological advancements in the non-ferrous metals sector that could further drive down fossil fuel consumption.
Economic and regulatory changes that could affect the pace and extent of these reductions.
