The forecast for the number of plastic packaging goods enterprises in Italy shows a gradual decline from 1.31 thousand enterprises in 2024 to 1.22 thousand in 2028. Year-over-year, this represents a decline of approximately 1.53% from 2024 to 2025, 2.33% from 2025 to 2026, 1.59% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.61% from 2027 to 2028.
