The forecast for maize starch imports to Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend, with imports rising from 90.931 million kilograms in 2024 to 103.65 million kilograms by 2028. 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.
Year-on-year analysis highlights the percentage growth between each consecutive year: 2025 marks a 3.60% increase from 2024, 2026 sees a 3.406% rise from 2025, 2027 follows with a 3.233% increase from 2026, and 2028 grows by 3.069% from 2027.
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.
