The forecast for re-import of textile fabric impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with polyurethane to Italy shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, with volume decreasing from 65.85 thousand kilograms to 65.32 thousand kilograms. Compared to 2023, when imports were at 66.01 thousand kilograms, the year-on-year variation for 2024 is a slight decrease, continuing the downward trend over the subsequent years.
- From 2024 to 2025, the import volume is projected to decrease by approximately 0.21%.
- 2025 to 2026 sees a decrease of about 0.20%.
- 2026 to 2027 follows with a decline of roughly 0.20%.
