In 2023, Italy's import of homogenised composite food preparations for infant food or dietetic purposes in containers not exceeding 250 grams was recorded at 17.5 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted growth shows a steady increase in volume. Year-on-year, imports are expected to grow by approximately 3.6% each year. This consistent upward trajectory results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.6% for the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increasing demand for convenient and nutritional options in infant and dietetic food.
Potential impacts of regulatory changes or import policies in the European Union.
Consumer preferences for organic or specialized dietary products.
