In 2023, Italy imported approximately 75.2 thousand kilograms of raw mink furskins. From 2024 onwards, the forecast indicates a consistent year-on-year decline in imports. By 2028, the volume is expected to decrease to 49.37 thousand kilograms. Analyzing the year-on-year variations: this represents a gradual decrease from 69.96 in 2024 to 49.37 in 2028, a 5-year CAGR of about -8.1%. This trend suggests a shrinking demand or a shift in market dynamics over this period.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of environmental advocacy and animal rights movements, potentially leading to further reductions in demand.
Shifts in the fashion industry towards alternative materials.
Potential regulation changes affecting fur importation and trade.
Influence of economic factors on luxury goods consumption patterns.
