In 2023, the sold production of albums for samples, collections, stamps, or photographs of paper or paperboard in Italy stood at a level higher than the forecasted values for 2024 onward. The forecast indicates a significant year-on-year decline: 18% in 2025, 21% in 2026, 27% in 2027, and a dramatic 37% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 shows an average decline of approximately 27% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts towards digital formats that may further suppress demand for paper-based albums, alongside any resurgence in collectors' interest that might stabilize or reverse the declining trend.
