In 2023, Italy's end-of-life vehicles recycling and reuse reached a volume of approximately 965.64 thousand metric tons. The forecast predicts a steady decline from 2024, starting at 942.99 thousand metric tons, down to 857.66 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations indicate this downward trend, with a notable annual decrease of around 2.26% on average over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing regulatory pressure and policies focused on promoting circular economy principles may influence recycling behaviors and technologies.
Advancements in vehicle construction and materials may alter the volume and nature of recyclable components.
Potential growth in the electric vehicle market may change the landscape of automotive recycling.
