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.
