The production of polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms, excluding polypropylene, in Italy is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 128.9 million kilograms in 2024, it is anticipated to drop to 88.311 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the sold production was approximately 139.2 million kilograms, highlighting a consistent downtrend over the forecasted period. The shrinkage reflects an approximate year-over-year decrease of 8% and leads to a projected CAGR of around -8.8% over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in recycling and bio-based alternatives, which may impact production methods and demand for traditional polymers. Market dynamics and legislative shifts towards sustainability and reduced carbon emissions are likely to influence production volumes and strategic priorities within the polymers sector.
