In 2023, the import of imitation jewellery and related articles to Italy stood at 2.1978 million kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a declining trend with a significant year-on-year decrease. By 2028, imports are expected to dramatically fall to 0.13402 million kilograms, highlighting a persistent downward trajectory. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 is estimated at -23.43%, from 2025 to 2026 at -30.37%, from 2026 to 2027 at -43.19%, and from 2027 to 2028 at -75.16%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years depicts a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to be mindful of include the shift in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally crafted jewellery, which could be driving the decline in imitation jewellery imports and the overall industry transformation towards ethical sourcing and environmentally friendly materials.
