The import volume of frozen whole fowls into Italy is expected to decrease gradually from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, imports stood at approximately 2.55 million kilograms. Forecasts indicate a downward trend with a reduction to 2.18 million kilograms by 2028, demonstrating a consistent decline each year. The year-on-year percentage changes from 2024 onwards confirm a gradual decrease, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -2.5%. This signifies a steady drop over the forecasted period without any abrupt fluctuations.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increasing domestic production could impact imports negatively.
- Potential changes in consumer preferences for fresh over frozen poultry.
- Shifts in trade policies or international agreements affecting import costs.
- Emerging alternative protein markets might further reduce demand.
