In 2023, the chemical and petrochemical sector's final consumption of non-renewable waste in Italy was a baseline for observing forecasted increments. The forecast indicates a steady rise in consumption from 2024 to 2028, starting at 949.94 Gigawatt hours in 2024 and reaching 1030 Gigawatt hours in 2028. This period reflects a consistent growth pattern, demonstrating a year-on-year increase. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is indicative of an ongoing upward trajectory in this sector's reliance on non-renewable waste.

Looking forward, several trends could impact these forecasts:

Potential policy shifts toward renewable energy adoption could cap non-renewable waste usage.
Technological advancements may enhance energy efficiency, potentially slowing growth in consumption.
Global economic factors and market dynamics, such as commodity price fluctuations, could influence consumption patterns.
