The import of creped or crinkled sack kraft paper to Italy is forecasted to grow gradually from 33.236 million kilograms in 2024 to 34.755 million kilograms in 2028, assuming a steady increase. The data indicates a year-on-year growth of around 1.2% to 1.3%. This upward trend reflects a rising demand for paper products that offer specific features like crinkle and embossing, likely due to increasing applications in packaging solutions. For perspective, imports stood at an estimated level slightly below the 2024 forecast in 2023, aligning with broader growth trends in the paper and packaging industry.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch include the impact of sustainability initiatives which may shift demand toward recycled materials and innovative packaging solutions. Additionally, economic factors and shifts in global supply chains could influence the import volumes and strategic sourcing decisions of Italian companies in this sector.
