The forecasted production of vegetable materials, waste, residues, and by-products in Italy indicates a continual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 25.856 million kilograms in 2024 and falling to 23.781 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decline is apparent with a 2.03% decrease from 2024 to 2025, a 2.06% decrease from 2025 to 2026, a 2.08% decrease from 2026 to 2027, and a 2.11% decrease from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, reflecting a consistent reduction annually.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of sustainability initiatives, changes in agricultural and waste management policies, and technological advancements in recycling and resource recovery. These factors could potentially alter the production forecasts by either enhancing resource utilization or mitigating the decline in production volumes.
