In 2023, Italy's import of protein concentrates and textured protein substances stood as a baseline figure not provided here. Forecast data suggests a consistent increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at $45.019 million and projected to climb to $48.73 million. Year-on-year growth highlights an upward trend, with approximately a steady increase of over $1 million annually. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period will reflect sustained growth in the protein import sector. A precise percentage increase cannot be calculated without 2023's actual value for comparison.
Future trends to watch for include the rising demand for plant-based protein alternatives driven by health consciousness and environmental concerns. Additionally, potential regulatory changes within the EU could impact import dynamics. Monitoring technological advances in food production and shifts in consumer preferences will also be key to understanding future market direction.
