The import of rubber waste, parings, and scrap to Italy is projected to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028, with a slight increase of approximately 0.25% per annum. In 2023, Italy imported 2.955 million kilograms of rubber waste. The consistent upward trend over the five-year forecast period suggests a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) that remains steady, reflecting consistent demand or policy-driven initiatives encouraging recycling and waste management.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential environmental regulations influencing the import volumes.
Technological advancements in recycling that could impact demand.
Economic growth or decline influencing industrial needs for rubber waste materials.
