The forecast for the value added in the publishing sector in Italy indicates a downtrend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at €2.68 billion in 2024, the value is projected to decrease to €2.45 billion by 2028. This reflects a gradual decline, highlighted by year-on-year decreases of approximately 2.2% from 2024 to 2025 and similar rates in subsequent years, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.8% over the five-year period. In 2023, the actual value stood at €2.74 billion, demonstrating a consistent reduction in sector performance.
Future trends to watch for:
