In 2023, the import of worked vegetable and mineral carving material to Italy stood at 23.270 million US Dollars. Starting from 2024, a gradual decline is observed each year: from 23.248 million in 2024 to 22.969 million by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decrease in value, indicating a shrinking demand or possible shifts in sourcing strategies.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of changes in global trade policies on imports.
- Emerging technologies or substitutes that may disrupt traditional carving materials.
- Fluctuations in the international market prices of raw materials due to geopolitical factors.
