The forecast for Italy's plastics waste imports from extra-EU27 regions (expressed in million euros) predicts a steady increase from 2024 through 2028, beginning at 13.68 million euros in 2024 and reaching 13.77 million euros by 2028. As of 2023, the value stood at 13.66 million euros, highlighting a consistent yet modest growth trajectory in this sector.
A year-on-year analysis shows a minimal yet consistent growth pattern, with an annual increase aligning with approximately a 0.15% rate over the forecast period. This consistent growth points to a stable demand for plastics waste imports in Italy. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years remains low due to the industry's mature nature.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of EU policy changes regarding waste management, technological advancements in recycling processes, and shifts in global trade dynamics. These factors could significantly influence the trajectory of plastic waste imports in Italy beyond the current forecast period.
