The number of enterprises engaged in the collection of non-hazardous waste in Italy is forecasted to slightly decline from 1.34 thousand in 2024 to 1.27 thousand by 2028. This represents a gradual year-on-year decrease, with variations indicating consistent, albeit small, reductions each year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period is anticipated to reflect a negative trend, underscoring a steady contraction in this sector from its baseline in 2023.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased regulatory frameworks focusing on waste management efficiency and environmental compliance.
Potential shifts towards technological advancements and automation in waste collection processes.
Economic factors that could impact the establishment and sustainability of new enterprises within this sector.
