The import of printed maps, charts, and atlases to Italy is projected to decrease over the coming years. In 2023, the actual value stood at approximately 3.88 million USD. Forecasts indicate a decline from 3.6053 million USD in 2024 to 2.5577 million USD by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year reduction, with significant drops in import value. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is negative, reflecting a steady descent in importation volumes since 2023.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increasing digitalization may continue to impact physical map demand adversely.
Potential shifts due to evolving travel and tourism sectors, which might see a revamp influencing import needs.
Environmental policies and preferences for sustainable resources could alter production abroad, affecting import costs and volumes.
