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.
