In 2023, the import volume of fresh or chilled goat meat to Italy was recorded at approximately 715.81 thousand kilograms. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, the import volume is expected to decrease year-on-year. The projected decline from 2024 to 2025 is 6.68%, followed by a 7.10% drop in 2026, a 7.55% decrease in 2027, and a 8.09% fall in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is -7.24%, indicating a consistent downward trend in imports.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential changes in consumer demand for goat meat within Italy, possibly driven by dietary trends or cultural shifts.
- Impact of global trade policies and tariffs which might influence import costs.
- Domestic production capabilities in Italy which could offset the need for imports.
- Shifts in supply from primary exporting countries, possibly affecting availability and pricing.
