Biomass imports to Italy are projected to increase steadily from 68.08 million metric tons in 2024 to 70.91 million metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the actual figure stood at approximately 67.5 million metric tons. This trend represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 1% to 1.1% during the forecasted period, translating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 0.9% from 2024 to 2028. This indicates a gradual increase in dependency on biomass imports over the five-year horizon.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in government policy supporting local biomass production could affect import levels.
Technological advancements and investments in renewable energy may influence biomass consumption.
Global market fluctuations and trade agreements might impact import prices and volumes.
