The demand for mutton and goat meat in Italy is forecasted to decline slightly in the coming years. From a volume of 54.0 thousand metric tons in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 52.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year variation of about -1.85% from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the demand stood at 54.1 thousand metric tons. The forecast indicates a minor shrinkage in demand over the projected period, with a compound annual growth rate that reflects consistently reduced consumer interest or supply challenges.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable meat alternatives, economic factors influencing meat consumption, and shifts in livestock production due to environmental policies. These could impact the demand for mutton and goat meat in Italy beyond the current forecast period.
