Between 2024 and 2028, Italy's limestone and gypsum imports are projected to steadily decline from 31.87 to 26.91 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year reduction starts at approximately 3.9% between 2024 and 2025, gradually leveling off to approximately 4.4% by 2028. Assuming steady trends, these figures imply a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of around -3.4% annually over the period.
Future trends to monitor include potential increases in local production, technological advancements in construction, and sustainable alternatives that may further reduce import demand. Geopolitical and economic shifts could also impact supply chain dynamics and import volumes.
