The import of crude or roughly trimmed granite to Italy is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, indicating a downward trend. Between 2024 and 2025, the import volume is expected to decrease by approximately 6.68%. This trend continues as imports decrease by 7.08% in 2026, 7.55% in 2027, and 8.09% in 2028. When considering the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028, the average annual decline is anticipated to be significant. As of 2023, imports stood at a notably higher level than forecasted figures for 2024-2028, showing a continual reduction in demand or supply disruptions.
Future trends to watch for include changes in global granite supply and demand dynamics, advancements in alternative materials, and Italy's economic conditions that could impact construction activities. Sustainability trends might also influence the import market as environmental considerations become more prominent in construction materials.
