The import of rabbit or hare meat and offal to Italy is forecasted to decline gradually from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.0892 million kilograms in 2024 and dropping to 1.5488 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a consistent downward trend, with a significant average decline of approximately 7% per annum over the forecast period, calculated as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR). In 2023, the import volume was notably higher, which marks the starting point of this projected decrease.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins, changes in regulatory environments impacting imports, and fluctuations in domestic production capabilities which could either counterbalance or exacerbate the decline in import volumes. Tracking these developments will be essential for understanding the future landscape of rabbit or hare meat and offal imports to Italy.
