In 2023, the import of food-grade salt to Italy stood at 318 million kilograms. Based on the forecast from 2024 to 2028, the volume is expected to increase each year, reaching 350.76 million kilograms by 2028. Specifically, the year-on-year growth rates are as follows: from 2024 to 2025, it is projected to grow by 2.04%; from 2025 to 2026, by 1.98%; from 2026 to 2027, by 1.92%; and from 2027 to 2028, by 1.87%. Over the entire five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will be approximately 1.97% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in global salt supply chains, fluctuations in international trade policies, and shifts in consumer demand for processed and packaged foods that utilize food-grade salt. Monitoring these factors will be crucial in understanding whether the forecasted import volumes will align with actual figures.
