The forecast for Italy's import of dried cut flowers and flower buds for bouquets shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.2607 million kilograms and reducing to 1.1968 million kilograms. Year-on-year variation indicates a consistent decrease, suggesting a decreasing demand or a shift toward local sourcing. This trend reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) revealing a modest contraction over this five-year period. In 2023, the value stood at a higher level, indicating a recent peak before the projected decline.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and locally sourced flowers, changes in trade policies, and potential impacts of climate change on global flower production. Additionally, monitoring Italy's domestic production capabilities could provide insights into further reducing import dependence.
