The data projects a gradual decline in Italy's fibre cement imports from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 1.0947 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.034 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the imports stood at 1.109 million kilograms, marking a steady downtrend over the forecast period. The year-on-year decreases are modest, illustrating a consistent, slight contraction in imports. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years indicates an overall declining trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in domestic policies affecting import levels.
- Developments and innovations within the local construction industry favoring or substituting fibre cement.
- Impact of economic conditions on construction activities and consequent materials demand.
- Global supply chain challenges that might affect import volumes.
