The Italian lemons and limes market is projected to see a steady growth in consumption per capita from 2024 to 2028, starting at 7.78 kg in 2024 and reaching 8.09 kg by 2028. In 2023, the per capita consumption was slightly below 7.78 kg indicating a continuous upward trend. The year-on-year growth rates hover around 1%, suggesting a modest yet stable increase each year.

Future trends to watch include potential impacts of climate change on citrus production, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainability, and economic factors affecting import and export dynamics. These elements could influence both demand dynamics and market structure in the Italian fruit sector.
