The import of cotton-seed oil to Italy is projected to decrease over the next five years. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted volumes reflect a consistent decline, starting at 11.23 thousand kilograms in 2024 and reducing to 5.46 thousand kilograms by 2028. In comparison to 2023, we are observing a downward trend in the import volumes.
Year-on-year percentage changes further emphasize this decline, with significant reductions observed each year: 2025 shows a decrease from 2024, followed by continued drops in 2026, 2027, and reaching the lowest in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these years highlights an overall negative trend, suggesting an average decline per year.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in domestic production levels, evolving consumer preferences towards other oils, or shifts in trade policies that could impact import volumes. Monitoring these factors could provide insights into how this trend might evolve beyond the current forecast period.
