This increase represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.15%. In 2023, the imports were slightly lower, indicating a steady growth trajectory as Italy continues to demand more maize starch.

Future trends to watch for include shifts in global maize supply chains that could affect Italy’s import capacity. The growth of alternative starch markets and trade policies might also influence future projections. Monitoring these variables will be essential for stakeholders involved in the maize starch market.
