The import of ephedrines to Italy is forecasted to decline significantly: 2024 (2.75 thousand kg), 2025 (2.15 thousand kg), 2026 (1.55 thousand kg), 2027 (0.96934 thousand kg), and 2028 (0.39782 thousand kg). This trend illustrates a consistent reduction in volume. In 2023, the actual import stood at 3.35 thousand kg. This reflects a strong decreasing trajectory over the coming years with a significant year-on-year drop, especially visible from 2025 onwards.

Future trends to watch include:

Influence of regulatory changes impacting ephedrine imports.
Potential shifts in global supply chain dynamics.
Exploration of alternative sources or substitutes in the pharmaceutical industry.
