The forecasted Extra-EU28 imports of iron and steel waste to Italy show a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 72.78 million Euros in 2024 to 51.1 million Euros in 2028. Year-on-year, this represents a negative trend, with a sharper decline observed between 2025 and 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects an average yearly decrease, underscoring a contraction in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Italy's domestic recycling capacity, changes in steel production demand, and global economic factors affecting the supply chain of iron and steel waste. Increased emphasis on sustainability could also influence import patterns. Monitoring these elements will be crucial to understanding changes in import dynamics.
