The import of footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics to Italy is expected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, growing from 32.915 million kilograms in 2024 to 33.679 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a consistent upward trend. In comparison, the previous years' available data, not provided here, would have set a benchmark for these forecasted figures. The year-on-year growth rates show modest increases, indicating stability in demand. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this forecasted period suggests a stable market with a slight positive trajectory.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable materials and potential impacts of trade policies. Additionally, economic conditions in Italy and sourcing countries may significantly influence these forecasts.
