Based on forecasted data, Italy's imports of sheet or tile, asbestos, and cellulose fibre cement not corrugated are projected to rise from 8.283 million kilograms in 2024 to 9.102 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 2.5% to 2.8% is expected. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is estimated to be around 2.4%, indicating steady demand in this sector. This sustained growth suggests a robust market outlook facilitated by infrastructure and construction industry trends in Italy.

Future trends to watch for:

Government infrastructure projects that may increase demand.
Potential environmental regulations impacting asbestos use.
Advancements in alternative materials that could substitute traditional fibre cement solutions.
