The import of frozen strawberries to Italy is forecasted to exhibit a steady growth from 2024 to 2028, rising from 17.836 million kilograms in 2024 to 19.33 million kilograms in 2028. In 2023, the volume was recorded at 17.474 million kilograms, indicating a consistent increase over the forecast period. The year-on-year growth averages around 2-3%, suggesting a moderate yet stable demand for this product in Italy. The last compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year period is also aligned with this trend, reinforcing the ongoing growth in imports.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of climatic changes on strawberry cultivation, influencing supply and import dynamics. Additionally, evolving consumer preferences towards organic and sustainably sourced products might affect the demand and import patterns. Increased competition among exporters and trade policy changes could also play significant roles in shaping future import trends.
