In 2023, the production of under glass capsicum peppers in Italy stood at an actual figure of 65.8 thousand metric tons. Forecast data indicates a consistent decline in production from 2024 to 2028, starting at 64.62 thousand metric tons in 2024 and decreasing annually to 60.6 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 2.1%, while from 2025 to 2026, the decline is about 1.7%. Over the five-year forecast period ending in 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is -1.6%, reflecting a gradual reduction in production capacity.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of climate change on greenhouse farming efficiency and yield, which could affect production volumes.
- Technological advancements in under glass cultivation techniques that might counteract the downward trend.
- Market demand shifts for capsicum peppers both domestically and internationally that may influence production priorities.
