In 2023, the import volume of aluminium powders and flakes of lamellar structure to Italy was 146.33 thousand kilograms. The forecast indicates a decreasing trend, with imports expected to drop annually from 2024 (125.77 thousand kg) to 2028 (44.27 thousand kg). Year-on-year percentage decreases are significant, illustrating a steep decline in demand or shifts in sourcing strategies. The compound annual growth rate over these five years suggests a notable contraction in volumes.
Future trends to watch for:
- Consider changes in local manufacturing capabilities that could affect import dependency.
- Monitor economic policies that might impact trade dynamics with aluminium-producing countries.
- Scrutinize industry shifts, such as technological advancements, that could influence market demand for aluminium powders and flakes.
