As of 2023, Italy's imports of milk and cream with a fat content not exceeding 1% in large packaging exceeded 379 million kilograms. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a gradual decline in imports, from 377.23 million kilograms in 2024 to 368.81 million kilograms in 2028. Year-on-year decreases are consistent, with imports declining at approximately 0.6% annually. This indicates a slight reduction trend over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in consumer preferences towards low-fat dairy products.
- Alterations in trade policies affecting dairy imports.
- Shifts in domestic production capabilities impacting import reliance.
