The import of plates, sheets, film, and strips of polyethylene terephthalate of thickness less than 0.35 mm to Italy is projected to steadily increase from 127.29 million kilograms in 2024 to 142.57 million kilograms in 2028. Comparing 2023 figures to 2024 forecasts, and subsequent years, we observe modest annual growth. Year-on-year growth rates range around 3% to 4%, with a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years reflecting a stable expansion trajectory.
Future trends to watch include fluctuations in global PET material supply, advancements in recycling technologies, and regulatory changes targeting sustainable packaging solutions, which may impact import volumes and industry dynamics in Italy.
