In 2023, the consumption of primary solid biofuels in Italy's textile and leather sector was lower than the forecasted 1.84 GWh for 2024. From 2024 to 2028, consumption shows a consistent upward trend, increasing annually. The year-on-year growth rates from 2024 to 2025, 2025 to 2026, 2026 to 2027, and 2027 to 2028 demonstrate stable increments of approximately 3-4% yearly. Over the five-year period ending in 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is around 2.6%.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts to increased renewable energy sources, which could accelerate biofuel consumption.
Technological advancements in biofuel production that may impact supply and pricing.
Regulatory changes or incentives that may affect biofuel usage in industrial sectors.
