In 2023, Italy imported linseed in quantities that set the preliminary baseline for future projections. Starting from 2024, the forecasted import quantities show a steady increase from 52.453 million kilograms, with a gradual year-on-year growth rate averaging around 3.17% through to 2028. By 2026, imports are predicted to reach 55.867 million kilograms, and by 2028, the import figures are expected to be 59.146 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be approximately 3%.
Future trends to watch for include demand shifts driven by dietary trends favoring plant-based nutrition, which could further influence import volumes. Additionally, monitoring global linseed production and potential trade policy changes will be crucial for assessing supply chain impacts on Italy's import patterns.
