The import volume of veneer or ply sheets of tropical woods to Italy is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. The data shows a decrease from 29.195 million kilograms in 2024 to 27.454 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, which served as a baseline year before the forecast period, this trend illustrates a consistent downward trajectory. The year-on-year decline in import volume indicates a modest negative growth, with the average compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a gradual contraction in demand over five years.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in Italy's construction and furniture industries, which could affect demand for tropical wood products. Sustainability initiatives and regulatory changes regarding deforestation and wood imports may also influence future import patterns.
