The import of avocados to Italy is projected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at 25.5 million kilograms, showing a consistent upward trend with an anticipated 17.8% increase in volume by 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is 3.61%, followed by 3.42% from 2025 to 2026, 3.24% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.08% from 2027 to 2028. These incremental annual increases suggest robust demand and a growing market preference for avocados in Italy, possibly due to rising health awareness.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change and supply chain disruptions on avocado supply
- Italy's growing consumer appetite for healthy and exotic foods
- Price fluctuations driven by global demand and economic factors
- Influence of sustainability practices on sourcing and import decisions
