The import of green tea, black tea, and partly fermented tea into Italy is expected to see a steadily increasing trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at slightly below the 2024 forecasted value.

Year-on-year, the forecasted import volumes will increase at an average growth rate of approximately 2.69%. The period between 2024 and 2028 is expected to show a consistent upward trend, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting this positive outlook over five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Growing demand for specialty and healthy teas, particularly green and fermented teas.
The impact of sustainability practices on packaging and sourcing, influencing import dynamics.
Potential fluctuations due to global trade policies and economic conditions affecting consumer behavior.
