The forecast for gas oil and diesel oil consumption, excluding the biofuel portion, in Italy's paper, pulp, and printing sectors indicates a steady increase from 2024 through 2028. Values in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent rise from 45.66 in 2024 to 48.85 in 2028. This presents a continuous upward trend with year-on-year growth rates of around 1.8% to 2.0%. As of 2023, consumption was presumably below 45.66. The five-year CAGR from 2024 to 2028 further underscores expected consistent growth.
Future trends to monitor include technological advancements in energy efficiency, shifts in industry regulations, and the potential impact of increased environmental consciousness which could affect traditional fossil fuel use in these sectors.
