The forecasted domestic consumption of limestone and gypsum in Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with consumption expected to decrease from 30.97 million metric tons in 2024 to 23.27 million metric tons in 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year decrease of approximately 6-7% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, indicating a significant reduction in consumption.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in construction practices in Italy that might drive demand.
Technological advancements in building materials reducing dependency on limestone and gypsum.
Environmental policies impacting quarrying and consumption of these materials.
