The forecast for raw silk imports to Italy shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 631.51 to 305.37 thousand kilograms. It reflects a significant downward trend. Compared to 2023, this trajectory indicates a potential decrease given the continued pattern of reduction in future years. From 2025 onwards, we observe negative year-on-year variations, signaling consistent annual import contraction. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights an average decline per annum over this period, underscoring a sustained downturn in raw silk imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions due to changes in global silk production, shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative materials, and economic shifts impacting trade policies. Additionally, environmental sustainability and innovations in textile technologies might further influence the demand and import volumes for raw silk in Italy.
