The forecast for imports of milk and cream to Italy, with a fat content above 1% but not exceeding 6%, in immediate packings of a net content not exceeding 2 liters, shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 156.12 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 49.807 million kilograms by 2028. The import stood at 200 million kilograms in 2023. The year-on-year variations indicate a consistent decrease, with notable declines each year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a negative trajectory in volume, reflecting Italy's declining demand or increasing domestic production.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards locally sourced products, changes in trade policies affecting dairy imports, and the impact of economic factors such as currency fluctuations and consumer spending power. Additionally, monitoring innovations in dairy production and possible shifts in health regulations regarding dairy consumption in Italy could significantly influence future import volumes.
