The import of cocoa powder not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter to Italy is forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. The projections show a consistent year-on-year increase, starting at 39.711 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 41.915 million kilograms by 2028. For context, the volume recorded in 2023 was 39.2 million kilograms. The year-on-year variation shows a growth trend, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over five years suggestive of moderate, sustained expansion.
Future trends to monitor include potential changes in consumer preferences towards healthier options, any fluctuations in cocoa production globally, and economic factors influencing trade policies in Italy. Furthermore, sustainability practices in cocoa farming could impact import volumes and pricing.
