In 2023, Italy imported 179.84 million kilograms of metal structures and parts. The forecast indicates a gradual increase in the import volume, rising to 182.96 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 195.47 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.66% over the five-year forecast period.
Year-on-year, the import volume is projected to increase steadily, with small increments reflecting stable growth in demand:
- 2024 to 2025: 1.74% increase
- 2025 to 2026: 1.69% increase
- 2026 to 2027: 1.64% increase
- 2027 to 2028: 1.60% increase
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations due to changes in Italy’s industrial production, construction activity, and broader economic conditions. Emerging technologies in construction and metal fabrication could also influence import demand and sourcing strategies.
