The import of zinc waste or scrap to Italy is predicted to increase from 70.526 million kilograms in 2024 to 79.04 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates steady growth with year-on-year increments averaging around 3-4%.
Considering the actual imports in 2023 stood at approximately 68 million kilograms, these forecasts suggest a consistent upward trend, likely driven by increased demand in the recycled materials market or industrial requirements within Italy.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Global zinc market conditions, affecting prices and supply chains.
- Italy's policies on import regulations and recycling incentives.
- Technological advances in zinc recycling processes.
