The import of articles of asbestos-cement and cellulose fibre-cement to Italy is projected to decrease gradually from 1.0947 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.034 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a consistent decline over the observed period. Notably, these projections follow from actual imports recorded in 2023, which established the base for these forecasted values.
Year-on-year variations signify an annual contraction of approximately 1.4% between 2024 and 2025, and this trend persists similarly year-on-year through 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period reflects a decline, suggesting an average contraction in imports annually.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in regulatory policies affecting asbestos usage, advancements in alternative materials, and changes in construction activities that might influence import demands. Economic factors and environmental concerns could also reshape the import landscape significantly.
