In 2023, Italy's import of unwrought lead containing antimony stood at 15.63 million kilograms. The subsequent forecast from 2024 shows a progressively declining trend, with figures projected to drop from 15.317 million kg in 2024 to 14.084 million kg by 2028. Year-on-year, the import volume is expected to decrease by approximately 2.1% in 2025, 2.1% in 2026, and then continue a similar trend through 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates an average annual decrease of approximately 2.1%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in industrial demand that may influence import needs.
Regulatory changes impacting the use and importation of lead and its alloys.
Advancements in recycling and alternative materials potentially reducing reliance on imports.
Economic factors, including geopolitical tensions that could affect trade dynamics and pricing.
