The import volume of partly or wholly hydrogenated vegetable fats and oils to Italy is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, imports are expected to be approximately 137.54 million kilograms, rising to 161.39 million kilograms by 2028. This consistent growth represents an average annual increase, or Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), over the five-year period. The data does not provide the actual figures for 2023 for comparison.
In terms of future trends, stakeholders should monitor the impact of evolving consumer preferences towards healthier and non-hydrogenated oils, potential changes in EU regulations regarding hydrogenated fats, and the impact of global supply chain disruptions on import volumes. These factors could influence the demand dynamics significantly moving forward.
