The forecast for Italy's import of infant foods encompassing cereals, flour, starch, or milk indicates a slight annual decline from 35.66 million kilograms in 2024 to 35.019 million kilograms by 2028. This suggests a decrease over time, although gradual, representing a year-on-year decline in volume by an average of 0.36% during this period. In 2023, the import volume stood slightly higher than the forecasted figures, reflecting a minor downtrend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in domestic consumption patterns influenced by demographic changes.
- Economic factors affecting import costs and local production capacities.
- Impact of regulatory changes on import policies and health standards.
