The import of textile fabric used in paper-making weighing less than 650 g/m² to Italy is projected to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028. The forecasted values drop from 5.5002 million USD in 2024 to 4.0223 million USD in 2028, indicating a continuous downward trend. Compared to 2023, the overall import value is expected to decrease significantly over the forecasted period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a negative growth path on average per year during this period. Such a trend signifies diminishing demand or shifting production practices.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shift towards sustainable materials and decrease in fabric use may further affect import volumes.
- Potential changes in trade policies or economic factors that could stabilize or reverse the declining trend.
- Technological advancements that may alter fabric requirements in paper manufacturing.
