In 2023, the re-import of pigments based on zinc sulphide and lithopone to Italy was recorded at 12.00 thousand kilograms. Analyzing the forecasted data, there's a noticeable year-on-year decline with a 16.06% decrease in 2024, followed by subsequent annual reductions in volume, leading to a significant annual average reduction (CAGR) of approximately 19.73% over the period 2024 to 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend in re-import volumes.
Future trends to watch for:
- Global supply chain disruptions affecting production and import-export dynamics.
- Possible shifts in environmental regulations impacting the pigment industry.
- Technological advancements or alternative materials influencing zinc sulphide demand.
- Economic factors in Italy affecting domestic industries reliant on these pigments.
