Forecast: Import of Sorted Used or New Rags Textile Material to Italy

The forecast for Italy's import of sorted used or new rags textile material shows a decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 6.29 million kilograms in 2024, there is a steady annual decrease, reaching 4.5228 million kilograms in 2028. For context, in 2023, the import stood at a higher level, indicating a consistent downward trend. The year-on-year percentage variation emphasizes this decreasing pattern, with significant reductions each year.

Future trends to watch for include:

• A shift towards sustainability might drive this downward trend as increased recycling and reuse in textile production could reduce dependency on imported rags.
• Potential changes in trade policies and agreements that might influence import volumes.
• Technological advancements in textile manufacturing that decrease wasted materials, impacting the demand for used textiles.
