Italy's intra-EU27 exports of Copper, Aluminium, and Nickel waste are projected to rise steadily between 2024 and 2028, from 236.36 thousand metric tons to 254.54 thousand metric tons. This growth indicates a consistent year-on-year increase, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years of approximately 1.9%. Exports in 2023 are firmly set as the baseline for this upward trend in volume. These consistent increases suggest a robust and sustained demand within the EU27 for these recycled metals.
In forthcoming years, factors to watch include the EU's regulatory changes aimed at promoting circular economies, fluctuations in global metal prices, and technological advancements in recycling processes, which could all impact export volumes and market dynamics.
