In 2023, the import volume of worked vegetable or mineral carving material, articles of wax or of paraffin to Italy stood at an estimated value. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady increase in import volumes: from 4.45 million kilograms in 2024 to 5.17 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth rate, with notable increments over each successive year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects a healthy market demand.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and artisanal goods, which may drive demand for worked vegetable or mineral materials. Additionally, economic factors such as trade agreements and tariffs could influence the import dynamics.
