The import of coniferous wood in chips or particles to Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with forecasted values decreasing from 326.84 million kilograms in 2024 to 299.13 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a notable reduction in import volume due to increased sustainability measures and a possible shift to alternative materials. The year-on-year reductions from 2024 to 2028 range between 2% to 3%, reflecting a consistent downward trajectory.
Key future trends to monitor include shifts in global supply chains, policy changes in forest conservation, technological advancements in wood processing, and the potential emergence of new international trade agreements impacting the European wood chip market.
