In 2023, the production of non-coniferous pulpwood, round and split in Italy stood at a significantly lower level than the forecast values for subsequent years. From 2024 onwards, production is expected to increase year-on-year, with a growth of around 1.24% from 2024 to 2025, 1.21% from 2025 to 2026, and similar rates for consecutive years leading to 2028. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 1.20%, indicating a steady upward trend in production volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in sustainable forestry practices, changes in global demand for pulpwood, and economic conditions that might impact production logistics and market competition. Monitoring developments in these areas will be vital for anticipating market dynamics.
