In 2023, the production of non-coloured cotton fabrics weighing at least 200 g/m² in Italy was slightly lower than the forecasted figure of 56.936 million square meters projected for 2024. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, the production is expected to exhibit minimal annual growth, with a consistent increase of 0.009 million square meters each year, maintaining a stable growth pattern.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts from advancements in textile manufacturing technologies which could enhance production efficiency.
Shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable and heavier fabric options, impacting production volumes.
Economic factors and global cotton supply chain changes that may influence production costs and capacities.
