In 2023, the import of frozen bovine carcasses and half carcasses to Italy stood at an actual volume of approximately 665,000 kilograms. Forecast data indicates a progressive decline over the subsequent years through 2028. From 2024 to 2025, a decrease of 6.52% is anticipated, followed by further reductions of 6.85% in 2026, 7.19% in 2027, and 7.62% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) underscores an average yearly decline of 7.13% across this period. This trend reflects a continuous shrinkage in imported volumes.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of domestic production increase potentially compensating for reduced imports.
Changes in consumer preferences and demand for alternative protein sources.
Economic conditions and trade policies influencing import volumes.
Potential fluctuations in global beef market prices affecting import decisions.
