In 2023, the import of machines for testing the mechanical properties of non-metals to Italy stood at 337.5 thousand kilograms. Forecasts indicate a steady year-on-year growth: 2024 sees an increase to 343.79 thousand kilograms, a 2.14% rise; 2025 grows by 1.95% reaching 350.5 thousand kilograms; 2026 marks a 1.87% increase to 357.07 thousand kilograms; 2027 estimates show a 1.80% growth reaching 363.51 thousand kilograms; and 2028 predicts a 1.74% rise with 369.83 thousand kilograms.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 1.9%, reflecting a gradual but consistent increase in imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements that may alter testing equipment demand.
Fluctuations in supply chain dynamics or policy changes impacting imports.
Trends in the construction, automotive, and other sectors driving non-metal materials testing needs.
