In 2023, the import of prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores to Italy stood at approximately 45 million kilograms. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady growth, with values expected to increase from 46.251 million kilograms to 51.745 million kilograms. This indicates a year-on-year growth of about 3% to 3.5% each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year period reflects a consistent upward trajectory in the import volume.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in foundry practices that could influence demand for specialized binders.
Shifts in global supply chains and trade policies that might impact import patterns.
Environmental regulations that may affect the compositions and usage of these binders in industrial processes.
