The import of eggs not in the shell and fresh or preserved egg yolks to Italy is projected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028 with values increasing from 45.159 million kilograms in 2024 to 52.735 million kilograms in 2028. Based on the forecasted data provided, the year-on-year growth rates are expected to be around 4.26% from 2024 to 2025, 4.05% from 2025 to 2026, 3.85% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.67% from 2027 to 2028.
In 2023, actual import volumes stood below the 2024 projections, highlighting an upward trend. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 through to 2028 is in the range of 3.7%, signifying consistent demand and increasing reliance on imports in Italy's market for egg-based products.
