In 2023, Italy imported approximately 2.25 million kilograms of creped paper and webs of cellulose fibers for household or sanitary purposes. Forecasts indicate a steady decline in import volumes over the next five years. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decrease, with imports expected to drop to 1.5548 million kilograms by 2028. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is negative, highlighting an average annual decrease in import volume.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts towards domestically produced materials, possibly driven by environmental policies.
Evolving consumer preferences that could impact demand for imported sanitary products.
Trade policy changes affecting import costs or availability.
