In 2024, Italy's import of organic composite solvents and thinners, primarily based on butyl acetate for use with coatings and inks, starts at 915.13 thousand kilograms. Previously, in 2023, imports stood at 880 thousand kilograms. Year-on-year variations indicate a steady increase: 3.9% in 2025, 3.7% in 2026, 3.5% in 2027, and 3.4% in 2028. The overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period is approximately 3.6%.

Future trends to watch:

Increased demand for eco-friendly and sustainable coating solutions, potentially driven by regulations.
Technological advancements in coatings and inks improving the efficacy of butyl acetate-based products.
Volatility in supply chain dynamics affecting raw material availability.
