In 2023, the import volume of asbestos brake linings and pads to Italy stood at 3.5556 million kilograms. The forecast shows a slight but steady year-on-year decrease from 2024 to 2028, with import volumes declining from 3.5553 to 3.5489 million kilograms. This gradual reduction reflects an average annual decrease in imports. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period indicates a nearly negligible decline.
Future trends to monitor include regulatory changes affecting asbestos use, advances in non-asbestos alternatives, and evolving environmental policies in Europe that may further impact demand and trade dynamics.
