The forecast for Italy's imports of prepared or preserved swine shoulders and cuts shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The value is projected to decrease steadily each year, indicating a noticeable downward trend. This trend follows previous years of stabilization at around the same values. Analyzing year-on-year variations, a consistent decline underscores a possible decrease in demand or changes in trade dynamics. The calculated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecast period reveals an average negative growth, signaling this trend is likely to persist.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternatives or plant-based products, which could further impact demand. Additionally, trade policy changes within the EU or global market fluctuations affecting pork prices could influence the import volumes and values for Italy.
