In 2023, the re-import of synthetic organic pigments and preps based thereon to Italy stood at approximately 14.1 thousand kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 display a gradual decline in volume: 12.96 thousand kilograms in 2024, decreasing year-on-year by approximately 6.5% on average until 9.72 thousand kilograms in 2028. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -8.7% over the five-year period.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential shifts in global supply chains affecting Italy's import capabilities.
Developments in sustainable and eco-friendly pigment alternatives that might influence import volumes.
Technological advancements in domestic production potentially reducing reliance on imports.
