The import of optical fibres, excluding those for telecommunications, to Italy is projected to increase from 675.64 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 778.16 thousand kilograms by 2028. This indicates steady growth over the forecast period.

Year-on-year growth rates reflect a consistent upward trend: 3.91% in 2025, 3.68% in 2026, 3.48% in 2027, and finally 3.30% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2024 and 2028 is approximately 3.59%.

The base year 2023 was notably dynamic, leading into these projections.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in other applications of optical fibres outside telecommunications.
Increasing demand in Italy's industrial and consumer sectors.
Potential trade policy adjustments impacting import volumes.
