In 2023, the per capita volume of flours, meals, and pellets of meat in Italy stood at approximately 9.50 kilograms. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady growth, with projections showing an increase from 9.53 kilograms to 9.59 kilograms per capita. The year-on-year growth remains minor with each year observing an increment around or marginally over 0.1%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is subtly positive, reflecting consistent but slow growth in consumption volume per capita.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in dietary preferences towards alternative protein sources which might impact meat-based ingredient consumption.
- Regulatory changes related to animal feed and ingredients that could influence market dynamics.
- Technological advancements in meat processing that enhance product appeal or nutritional value.
- Economic factors such as disposable income and purchasing power affecting consumer choices.
