The forecast for the re-import of creped, crinkled, embossed, perforated paper in rolls of more than 36 cm in width to Italy indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 8.23 thousand kilograms in 2024, it is projected to fall to 6.97 thousand kilograms by 2028. Assuming the actual figure for 2023, the decline suggests a noteworthy downward trend, with year-on-year reductions between 4.1% to 4.3%. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is negative, indicating a consistent annual decrease in volumes.
Future trends to watch for involve:
- Monitoring global supply chain disruptions which could further impact imports negatively.
- The shift toward digital documentation may continue to reduce demand for paper products.
- Watch the potential regulatory changes concerning environmental sustainability affecting paper production and importation.
