In 2023, the import of live sheep to Italy stood at approximately 58 million USD. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline in values, starting at 55.869 million USD in 2024 and decreasing to 45.584 million USD by 2028. This reflects an average annual decrease of 4.86% over these years, with year-on-year reductions, suggesting a steady downward trend in imports.
Future trends to watch for include changing domestic production capabilities, shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources, and potential impacts from trade agreements or tariffs. Monitoring these factors could indicate shifts in the importation trajectory beyond 2028.
