The import of salted, dried, or smoked swine hams and shoulders to Italy is forecasted to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 5.9565 million kilograms in 2024, it is set to grow to 6.565 million kilograms by 2028. Assuming a stable trend from previous years, the year-on-year growth rate averages around 2.5%, indicating a modest upward trajectory. In 2023, the imports stood at approximately 5.8 million kilograms.
Future trends to watch for include geopolitical influences on trade agreements affecting imports and consumer demand shifts towards alternative protein sources, which may moderate growth in traditional swine product imports.
