The import of chicory plant bulbs, tubers, and corms in Italy is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. The value decreases each year, from 8.29 million in 2024 to 6.16 million in 2028. This trend indicates a noticeable downward trajectory in demand or possibly shifting agricultural preferences. Compared to the 2023 figures, the year-on-year reductions are consistent. This declining trend has an estimated CAGR that suggests an average contraction in import value annually over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch include changes in agricultural policy, shifts in local production capabilities, and consumer preferences, all of which could influence further fluctuations in import levels and impact market dynamics in Italy.
