In 2023, the import of non-porcelain ceramic bathroom and kitchen sanitary items to Italy was estimated at approximately 1.213 million. From 2024, forecasts suggest a steady decline with 2024 already at 1.196 million, projecting a gradual decrease to 1.128 million by 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a consistent decrease, while the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decline in import values.
Future trends to watch for include potential market shifts due to technological innovations in ceramic production, changes in global trade policies, and Italy's economic conditions affecting import capacity and consumer preferences towards local sustainable products.
