The import of yarn of wool or fine animal hair to Italy is projected to decrease from $4.51 million in 2024 to $3.38 million in 2028, reflecting a steady downward trajectory. If the values replicated for 2024 to 2028 are correct, the year-on-year decrease between 2024 and 2025 is about -6.4%, and a similar trend continues, pointing to about -6.1% from 2025 to 2026.

This aligns with the calculated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -7.0% over these five years. In 2023, the imports likely stood somewhat higher, given the projected decline in subsequent years.

Future trends to watch include:

Changing global demand for wool and fine animal hair.
Potential shifts in Italy's domestic textile production capacity and capability.
Economic factors affecting Italy and its trade partners, such as currency exchange rates and trade policies.
