The forecast for maize oil import volume in Italy shows stability after a minor decline. Starting from an estimated volume of 13.0 thousand metric tons in 2024, the imports are projected to decrease to 12.0 thousand metric tons from 2025 to 2028. In 2023, the volume was likely consistent with 2024’s figure, indicating a slight reduction thereafter. The year-on-year change from 2024 to 2025 highlights an 8% decrease, and this reduced volume maintains consistently with no further decline in the subsequent years. Over the 5-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) remains flat, indicating stable import levels.
Looking ahead, important factors to monitor include shifts in domestic production capacity, international trade agreements, and any changes in consumer demand related to health trends or dietary preferences within Italy. Additionally, fluctuations in global maize oil supply and prices could impact future import volumes.
