In 2023, Italy imported approximately 31.019 million kilograms of wheat gluten. The forecasted data for 2024 indicates a slight growth of 3% to 31.948 million kilograms. These forecasts suggest a steady year-on-year growth pattern of around 3% from 2024 to 2028, increasing to 35.719 million kilograms by 2028. Over these five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at approximately 3.5%.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential disruptions in global wheat supply chains, which may impact Italy's import levels.
Increasing consumer demand for gluten-free products, possibly influencing import volumes indirectly.
Trade policies and tariffs that could affect import cost and volume dynamics.
