In 2023, Italy imported approximately 42 million kilograms of live swine, excluding pure-bred breeding weighing less than 50 kg. The forecast for 2024 is set at 43.593 million kilograms, expected to rise to 49.347 million kilograms by 2028.
The year-on-year growth rate from 2024 to 2025 is around 3.40%, followed by a similar pace of growth annually up to 2028. Over the five-year span, the compound annual growth rate stands at roughly 3.10%.
Future trends to monitor include potential changes in trade policies, the impact of health regulations, and shifts in domestic consumption patterns that could affect demand for live swine imports in Italy.
