The import of supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds to Italy is forecasted to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 11.825 million USD in 2024 and falling to 10.611 million USD by 2028. Comparing the annual forecasted declines, the year-on-year reduction is modest, with the average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period indicating a gradual downturn. As of 2023, the import value stood higher, marking the onset of this downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global demand for nickel-based catalysts due to technological advancements in alternative materials, changes in nickel supply dynamics, and evolving regulatory landscapes impacting the chemical and industrial sectors in Europe.
