In 2023, the road freight volume of secondary raw materials, municipal, and other wastes in Italy was estimated at 11.48 billion tonne kilometers. From 2024 to 2028, projections indicate a consistent year-on-year growth, starting from 11.65 to 12.39 billion tonne kilometers. This translates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 1.22% over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch:

Increasing environmental regulations may drive higher volumes of waste management and recycling, influencing road freight demand.
Technological advancements in logistics may enhance efficiency, potentially affecting freight volume projections.
Economic fluctuations and policy changes within the EU could impact waste generation and disposal practices, altering freight needs.
