In 2023, Italy's import of milk and cream with a fat content exceeding 21% in immediate packings over 2 liters stood at a certain level, from which the following forecasts are calculated. From 2024 to 2028, imports slightly decrease each year, with an average annual decrease of 0.5%. This gradual decline reflects a consistent downward trend in import volumes over the five-year period. Year-on-year percentage changes reveal a steady reduction, underscoring a transition away from higher-fat milk and cream imports.
Future trends to watch for include shifting consumer preferences toward healthier and alternative milk products, potential policy changes impacting trade, and technological advancements in dairy production that might influence import needs.
