Based on the forecast data, Italy's paper and cardboard waste exports outside the EU27 are projected to increase from €136.82 million in 2024 to €150.08 million in 2028. The year-on-year growth rate shows a consistent increase, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicating a stable market expansion.

Looking ahead, several trends warrant attention:

Growth in global demand for recycled materials may drive up export values further.
Regulatory changes within the EU could influence export patterns and pricing structures.
Sustainability initiatives and circular economy policies might impact the volume and value of waste exports.
The role of emerging markets in receiving these exports could expand, altering trade dynamics.
