The import of exfoliated vermiculite, expanded clays, and foamed slag to Italy is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 15.128 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 16.393 million kilograms in 2028. This shows a consistent growth trend with an average annual growth rate, or CAGR, expected to be just under 2% over the five-year period. As of 2023, the imports stood at a lower baseline, indicating progressive growth in subsequent years.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global supply chain disruptions, advancements in construction technologies, and increased demand for sustainable building materials, which could influence both supply and demand dynamics in this sector.
