The forecast for the import of Portland cement (excluding white cement) into Italy shows a noticeable decline from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 401.44 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing steadily each subsequent year, reaching 234.8 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, the projected volumes represent a significant downward trend, signaling a contraction in import demand. Year-on-year, the import values are expected to decrease sharply, with the most substantial decreases occurring in the latter half of the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period underscores a consistent diminishing trend in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities that could further influence the import demands. Additionally, economic conditions and construction activities within Italy could also impact future import volumes. Monitoring policy changes and advancements in sustainable building materials may further alter the trajectory of Portland cement imports.
