The import of limestone and gypsum to Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, imports stood at approximately 9.66 million kilograms. The forecast indicates a gradual reduction, with imports expected to decrease by an average of 1.35% annually over this period. This downward trend implies reduced demand or potential increases in domestic production capabilities.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in Italy's construction sector which could affect demand.
- Potential policy changes regarding sustainability and sourcing.
- Innovations in building materials that may reduce reliance on limestone and gypsum.
