In 2023, Italy's import of dried grapes stood at a level preceding the forecast data starting from 2024. The projected figures indicate a steady growth in imports from 22.194 million kilograms in 2024 to 22.393 million kilograms in 2028. This demonstrates a gradual year-on-year increase, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast of less than 1%. These predictions suggest a consistent demand pattern for dried grapes in Italy with minor increments.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Possible changes in consumer preferences towards organic or sustainably-sourced products, affecting import volumes.
- Economic or political factors potentially impacting trade agreements or tariffs, influencing import pricing or availability.
- Climate change impacts on production in key exporting countries, which may affect supply chain reliability and pricing.
