As of 2023, the import of moulding boxes for metal foundry to Italy was approximately 89.58 thousand kilograms. The forecast indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 87.42 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decreasing steadily to 25.33 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a significant year-on-year decrease in import volume, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a sharp decline over five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in domestic metal foundry production capabilities, which may influence import dependence.
Technological advancements in moulding box materials and manufacturing processes that could alter demand.
Changes in regulatory and environmental policies affecting the foundry industry in Italy.
