The import of shotguns, rifles, carbines, and muzzle-loaders to Italy is projected to rise steadily over the next five years, from 28.71 thousand items in 2024 to 30.85 thousand items in 2028. This consistent growth reflects an annual increase averaging around 1.8%. When comparing forecasted data with 2023, which saw imports significantly lower, it marks a substantial year-on-year rise.
Future trends to watch for include changes in European Union regulations impacting firearm imports and shifts in domestic demand driven by security and leisure activities. Additionally, external factors such as geopolitical developments may influence sourcing and supply chain dynamics.
