The forecast for the import of tea and mate extracts, essences, and concentrates to Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decrease in volume. Starting at 1.3219 million kilograms in 2024, the volume declines annually, reaching 1.0956 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, reflecting a weakening demand or potential substitution by alternative products. By 2023, imports stood at approximately 1.380 million kilograms, indicating a downtrend continues from the previous year. The forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a notable reduction in import volumes over this period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier or locally sourced beverages, economic factors impacting import capabilities, and changes in trade policies that might affect import volumes. Monitoring these factors can provide insights into the demand dynamics and strategic planning for stakeholders in the tea and mate industry.
