In 2023, the import value of flower seeds for sowing to Italy stood at a baseline value. The forecast for 2024 indicates a value of 11.871 million US dollars, with a steady year-on-year increase of approximately 1.64% forecasted up to 2028. By 2028, the import value is expected to reach 12.628 million US dollars, reflecting a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 1.55% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.

Future trends to monitor include:
- Changes in agricultural policies or trade agreements that may affect import tariffs or restrictions.
- Trends in domestic flower cultivation that could influence seed import demand.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards floral variety or eco-friendly sourcing which may impact import volumes.
- Global climate change effects potentially altering sourcing locations and varieties.
