The forecast indicates a consistent decrease in the import volume of unroasted iron pyrites and crude or unrefined sulphur to Italy from 2024 to 2028. The volume begins at 24.994 million kilograms in 2024 and declines to 17.971 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to the previous data from 2023, this reflects a negative year-on-year trend with a noticeable decrease over a five-year period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) predicts a steady decline in imports, roughly averaging around -7% annually based on the projected values.
Future trends to watch for include changes in global supply chains, shifts in industrial demand due to technological advancements or environmental policies, and potential domestic production alternatives in Italy. These factors may further influence the import needs and volume changes beyond 2028.
