In 2023, Italy's import of starches, excluding wheat, maize, potato, and manioc, stood at approximately $10.79 million. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady upward trend, starting at $10.987 million in 2024 and reaching $11.797 million by 2028. The year-on-year growth is moderate but consistent, suggesting a healthy market expansion. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period indicates a stable increase in demand for these starches.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in Italy's industrial and consumer preferences towards alternative uses of starches, which may influence demand. Additionally, changes in global economic conditions and trade policies could impact import levels, requiring close monitoring of international market developments.
