The import of asbestos paper, millboard, and felt to Italy is experiencing a steady decline from 2024 through 2028. The value is projected to drop from 2.08 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 0.86085 thousand kilograms by 2028, illustrating a continuous decrease. The year-on-year percentage decline reflects this persistent downward trend, becoming increasingly significant as the years progress. Over the five years leading to 2028, there is an annual average contraction, highlighting a comprehensive shift away from these materials.

Future trends to watch for include:

Stricter environmental regulations could further diminish asbestos imports.
Technological advancements may lead to the development of safer and more sustainable alternatives.
Global market dynamics and shifts in demand for asbestos materials might influence future import levels.
