In 2023, there were 30 enterprises in the glass fibers industry in Italy. The forecasted data for the coming years indicate a gradual decline in the number of enterprises, from 30 in 2024 to 25 by 2028. This shows a decreasing trend with an annual reduction observed: approximately 3.33% from 2024 to 2025, 3.45% from 2025 to 2026, 7.14% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.85% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is indicative of a shrinking industry.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in glass fiber production that may offset the decline by encouraging new market entrants.
Shifts in demand within the construction and automotive industries that could impact enterprise numbers.
Regulatory changes that may either pose challenges or create opportunities for growth in the sector.
