In 2023, Italy’s import of moulds for mineral materials stood at an estimated 2.6 million USD. From 2024 to 2028, the import value is forecasted to decrease progressively. The year-on-year decrease predicts a decline in imports of about 3.78% for the next four years, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -3.9%. These figures point to a gradual but steady reduction in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in local production capabilities that might drive import reduction further.
Potential impacts of economic policies and geopolitical factors on trade relationships.
Technological advancements that could alter manufacturing processes and reduce the dependency on imported moulds.
