In 2023, Italy imported wheat pellets with a volume of 14.98 million kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 show an increase to 15.352 million kilograms, indicating a 2.5% year-on-year growth. The subsequent years demonstrate a consistent upward trend, with 2025 forecasted to rise by 2.6%, and 2026 by a further 2.5%, reaching 16.132 million kilograms. By 2027 and 2028, imports are expected to grow by 2.3% and 2.2%, achieving volumes of 16.51 and 16.88 million kilograms respectively. This steady increase results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.3% over the five-year period from 2024 onwards.
Future trends to watch include the impact of global trade policies, potential shifts in agricultural production, and consumption patterns in Italy. Monitoring these factors alongside climate change effects on crop yields will provide better insights into the demand and supply dynamics of wheat pellets.
