The forecast analysis for recovered paper imports to Italy from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline. Starting from 291.74 thousand metric tons in 2024, imports are projected to decrease to 282.2 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year variation demonstrates a consistent downward trend: -1.09% from 2024 to 2025, -0.89% from 2025 to 2026, -0.73% from 2026 to 2027, and -0.60% from 2027 to 2028. This reflects a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecasting period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in global supply chains, Italy's domestic recycling policies, and advancements in alternative packaging materials, all of which could influence these import figures.
