In 2023, Italy's import of dried leguminous vegetables was significantly lower than the projections for 2024 and beyond. By 2024, the forecast indicates a gradual year-on-year increase, suggesting a growing market. The imports are anticipated to rise from $320.02 million in 2024 to $337.81 million by 2028, marking a consistent upward trend.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period shows a modest upward average, reflecting steady growth in demand.

Future trends to watch for:

Changing consumer preferences towards plant-based proteins could further boost imports.
Global trade policies and local agricultural developments impacting supply chains.
Economic factors influencing domestic demand and import capacities.
