The forecast for the beef meat market size volume per capita in Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline, starting at 15.1 kilograms per capita in 2024 and decreasing to 14.26 kilograms in 2028. This demonstrates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.5% in 2025, 1.4% in 2026, 1.5% in 2027, and 1.4% in 2028. If compared to the actual volume from 2023, this trend marks a steady reduction in beef consumption per person.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based or alternative proteins, impacting beef demand.
Economic factors that may affect disposable incomes and thus meat purchasing behaviors.
Environmental and health awareness potentially influencing reductions in meat consumption.
