The import of hydraulic cements, except Portland or aluminous, to Italy is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, imports were recorded at 26 million kilograms, and this figure is set to fall significantly by 2028. Year-over-year, the import volume is expected to decrease by approximately 20% per annum between 2024 and 2025, followed by similar drops in subsequent years. Over the analyzed five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a steep negative trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in import reliance may occur due to local production increases or technological advancements.
- Monitoring environmental regulations that could impact cement production and importation.
