In 2023, millet consumption in Italy stood at approximately 9.0 thousand metric tons. From 2024, the forecast indicates stability in millet demand, with 9.0 thousand metric tons expected for both 2024 and 2025, followed by a decline to 8.0 thousand metric tons from 2026 through 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of about 11.1% starting in 2026. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be negative, highlighting a downward trend in millet demand in Italy.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in consumer health preferences that could either restrain or boost demand.
- Potential policy shifts or incentives promoting millet as part of sustainable agricultural practices.
- Impact of global supply chain fluctuations on millet availability and price.
