In 2023, the import volume of eggs (except dried) to Italy was recorded at approximately 7.85 million kilograms. The forecast indicates a consistent year-on-year increase in import volumes, projecting a growth of around 2.5% per annum from 2024 through 2028. This upward trend suggests robust demand or a potential shortfall in domestic production that necessitates increased imports. Over the 5-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be approximately 2.39%, highlighting steady growth in the Italian market for imported eggs.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential disruptions in the supply chain, which may impact import volumes.
- Changes in domestic egg production capabilities and any resulting policy adjustments.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards different types of eggs, which could influence import needs.
- Economic factors such as inflation and exchange rate volatility affecting import costs and pricing.
