The forecast for Italy's import of whey shows a steady increase from 78.756 million kilograms in 2024 to 79.088 million kilograms in 2028. This incremental rise reflects an annual growth trend projected around 0.1% year-on-year, consistent over the forecast period. As of 2023, actual imports slightly surpassed 78 million kilograms, setting the baseline for these projections. A Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.1% is anticipated across the five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include increased demand for protein-rich products, which may spur further import growth. Additionally, global economic factors and trade policies could influence costs and import volumes.
