The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled beef and veal carcasses to Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline from 187.89 million kilograms in 2024 to 177.23 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a steady decrease of approximately 1.5% annually. In 2023, imports stood at around 190 million kilograms. Over the forecasted period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a negative growth trend, signaling a 1.5% annual reduction.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer demand for plant-based alternatives, shifts in trade policies, and fluctuations in domestic beef production in Italy, all of which may affect import volumes significantly.
