The forecast for the sold production of sand and gravel in Italy predicts a significant decrease from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 73.044 billion kilograms in 2024, it is expected to fall steadily to 51.309 billion kilograms by 2028. This marks a downward trend with a consistent year-on-year decline.
Forecasted year-on-year variations show a steady decrease, reflecting a challenging outlook for producers in the coming years. From 2024 to 2025, the production will fall by approximately 7.55%, continuing to decline by 8.09% in 2026, 8.71% in 2027, and 9.44% in 2028. This indicates an average annual decrease (CAGR) over this period.
In 2023, the actual production volume was noted just before this forecast, but other issues such as environmental regulations, market demand, and competition from alternative building materials may affect future trends. Companies should focus on sustainability and innovation to mitigate these impacts and explore potential growth in niche markets or recycling initiatives.
