The import of cut or sawn slabs of granite to Italy is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at approximately 1.86 million USD in 2024 and falling to approximately 0.43 million USD by 2028. From 2023 to 2024, Italy saw a rise in imports, but a significant decline is expected subsequently. Specifically, a year-on-year decrease is observed from 2025 onwards, illustrating a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of negative growth over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include possible shifts in global trade policies, fluctuations in granite supply due to geopolitical factors, and changes in domestic demand in Italy driven by architectural and construction trends. Monitoring these aspects will provide better insights into the import potential and competitive landscape for granite in Italy. Additionally, any technological advancements or changes in consumer preferences towards alternative materials could further impact future import levels.
