The forecast for Italy's import of densified wood in blocks, plates, strips, or profile indicates a steady decrease from 2024 to 2028, shrinking from 8.6245 to 5.9997 million kilograms, following a trend of declining volume. In 2023, the volume stood notably higher, indicating an industry under contraction in recent years. The forecast reveals an annual decrease of around 7-8% every year.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of economic policies on import regulations and tariffs in the EU.
Shifts in industry demand due to environmental policies favoring sustainable materials.
Technological advancements in wood processing and its implications on densified wood demand.
