In 2023, traditional butter production in Italy was recorded at 83.8 thousand metric tons. Forecasted figures show a slight decline over the next five years. From 2024 to 2028, the production is expected to fall gently, with a year-on-year decrease of about 0.14% on average. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) predicts a yearly average decline of approximately 0.1% over the observed period. Although the variations are minimal, they point towards a consistently decreasing trend in traditional butter production.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative dairy products, which could further influence declines. Additionally, climate impact on dairy farming and food regulations could affect production levels.
