In 2023, the final consumption of primary solid biofuels in Italy's agriculture and forestry sectors was at 42.67 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. From 2024 onward, forecasts indicate a steady increase in consumption, growing from 43.34 in 2024 to 46.55 by 2028. This represents year-on-year increases of approximately 2.5% from 2024 to 2025, 1.96% from 2025 to 2026, and progressively smaller annual increments approaching the end of the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is estimated to be around 1.8%.
Future trends to watch for in this sector include potential regulatory changes promoting renewable energy use or economic factors affecting the cost of biofuel production. Moreover, sustainability initiatives can increase adoption rates, while technological advancements may enhance biofuel efficiency, all contributing to future consumption trends.
