The non-coniferous sawnwood production in Italy is projected to decrease annually, moving from approximately 597.85 thousand cubic meters in 2024 to 556.17 thousand cubic meters in 2028. Comparing the forecast with the 2023 figures, a downward trend is evident. The year-on-year decrease starts with a reduction of about 1.77% in 2025 from 2024, and this trend continues with an average annual decrease of 1.79% over the five-year period ending in 2028. In 2023, actual production figures stood as a benchmark before this decline commenced.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential impacts of sustainability regulations and green policies on production practices.
- Technological advancements in production that could improve efficiency or alter production volumes.
- Market demand shifts, especially from the construction and furniture sectors, influencing production levels.
- Fluctuations in raw material availability and costs that could impact production further.
