The forecast for Italy's natural gas trade balance from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend. Starting at 42.49 million metric tons in 2024, it decreases steadily by about 2.5% per year, reaching 38.29 million metric tons by 2028.

As of 2023, the actual figure stood higher, showing a strong downward trajectory indicating decreasing net imports of natural gas.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Italy's energy policy, advances in renewable energy technologies, and geopolitical factors that could impact natural gas prices and supply chains, possibly altering the trade balance dynamics.
