The import of herbicides, anti-sprouting products, and plant-growth regulators to Italy is forecasted to increase from 29.82 million kilograms in 2024 to 30.627 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a steady growth in demand over the next five years. The year-on-year percentage increase is relatively stable at around 0.60% to 0.65% annually, reflecting a cautious growth trend. In 2023, the volume stood at approximately 29.8 million kilograms based on current trajectories.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of agricultural policies within the EU and Italy's domestic agricultural shifts towards sustainability and organic farming, which might influence the types and volumes of plant-growth regulators imported. Additionally, economic factors influencing the purchasing power of farmers and innovations in sustainable pest management could also affect future import trends.
