In 2023, the actual raw sugar equivalent inventory in Italy stood at 97,000 metric tons. The forecasted data indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at a negative variation of 113,000 metric tons in 2024, the trend decreases progressively each year to reach -194,000 metric tons by 2028. This downward trajectory reflects diminishing stock levels by approximately 15% year-on-year. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is about -14%, highlighting substantial reduction tendencies.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing demand versus production shortfalls could result in intensified stock depletion.
Global sugar market fluctuations, policy changes, and weather impacts might further affect supply levels in Italy.
Technological advancements in sugar production might offer potential offsets to the declining trend.
