The domestic material consumption of fodder crops and grazed biomass in Italy is projected to gradually increase from 0.58 metric tons per capita in 2024 to 0.6 metric tons per capita in 2028. This represents a steady annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period. The growth rate from 2026 to 2027 will remain stable at 0.59 metric tons per capita before incrementally rising to 0.6 metric tons per capita by 2028. Over the analyzed period, the sector exhibits a consistent, albeit slow, growth trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological innovations in agriculture might enhance yield efficiency, impacting material consumption rates.
- Potential policy changes regarding sustainable farming practices and environmental protection could influence consumption trends.
- Economic factors such as changes in consumer demand and livestock industry dynamics could further shape these forecasts.
