In 2023, Italy imported diesel engines exceeding 2500 CC at a volume slightly higher than forecasted future values. From 2024 to 2028, a steady decline is predicted, moving from 25.92 million kg in 2024 to 15.288 million kg in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year reduction averaging 11%, with a compound annual growth rate of -12% over the forecast period. This downward trend suggests a diminishing reliance on such imports possibly due to shifts in consumer preferences, regulatory changes, or advancements in cleaner technologies.
Future trends to watch include the transition toward electric vehicles, European emission regulations, and potential economic shifts influencing automotive demand in Italy.
