The projected import of unbleached non-coniferous chemical wood pulp of soda or sulphate to Italy indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 3.175 million kilograms in 2024, the import volume is expected to decrease to 2.9477 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decrease suggests Italy's shrinking dependency on this specific pulp category.
Key future trends to watch for include:
- Potential substitutes in pulp market affecting demand.
- Impact of advancements in recycling technologies on virgin pulp imports.
- Policy and regulatory changes influencing pulp trade dynamics.
