The import volume of rifles for sporting, hunting, or target-shooting to Italy is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, from 65.37 thousand kilograms to 61.63 thousand kilograms. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decrease of approximately 1.5% each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is indicative of a slight downward trend in imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Economic factors affecting disposable income and leisure spending, potentially influencing sports and hunting activities.
Changes in environmental and hunting regulations impacting demand.
Evolving consumer preferences towards alternative outdoor activities or technology-based entertainment.
Potential shifts in international trade agreements affecting import costs and logistics.
