The import volume of prepared or preserved pineapples to Italy is projected to steadily decline from 11.807 million kilograms in 2024 to 10.122 million kilograms by 2028. Comparatively, the volume stood higher in 2023. This trend indicates a consistent annual decrease, with key year-on-year declines of 3.67% from 2024 to 2025, 3.75% from 2025 to 2026, 3.80% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.89% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate over this period is negative, reflecting an average annual decrease.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preference towards fresh over preserved fruits.
- Changes in trade policies or tariffs that might impact imports.
- Innovations in preservation and packaging that could stimulate demand.
- Global pineapple supply fluctuations affecting availability and prices.
