The forecasted demand for butter and ghee in Italy shows a gradual decline from 104.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 99.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. Comparing year-on-year changes, this indicates a steady decrease in consumption with a declining trend of approximately 1% per year. Although data for 2023 is not explicitly provided, the expected year-on-year decline reflects either a saturation point or shifting consumer preferences.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential increased preference for alternative plant-based spreads due to health trends.
