In 2023, the import of non-refillable pocket lighters and gas-fueled to Italy stood at 813.05 thousand kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a continuous decline in imports, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -8.95%. The highest reduction is expected between 2023 and 2024, by around 7.7%. From 2024 onwards, the year-on-year decline varies slightly, maintaining a downward trajectory and reflecting persistent decreases in demand or increases in local production or regulations affecting imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer behavior towards sustainable alternatives, regulatory changes targeting non-recyclable materials, and technological advancements in reusable and refillable lighters. These factors may further influence the import dynamics of such products into Italy.
