In 2023, the actual re-import of adhesives based on rubber or plastic to Italy was higher than the forecasted decline observed from 2024 onwards. The data predict a steady decrease in re-imports, from 3.12 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 2.38 thousand kilograms in 2028. This indicates a year-over-year percentage drop, highlighting a shrinking dependence or demand for re-imports of these adhesives over the forecast period.

Looking ahead, key trends to consider include:

Shifts in domestic production capability and innovation in adhesive technology.
Potential changes in trade policies and environmental regulations impacting adhesive materials.
Market adaptability to sustainable and cost-effective alternatives.
