The import of Beech lumber to Italy experienced a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 107.61 thousand cubic meters in 2024, it decreased steadily to 76.26 thousand cubic meters by 2028. In 2023, the import value was observed at 115.76 thousand cubic meters, indicating a continued downward trend.
The year-on-year percentage variation showed a decrease of 7.52% from 2024 to 2025, 7.95% from 2025 to 2026, 8.47% from 2026 to 2027, and 9.07% from 2027 to 2028. The overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is negative, reinforcing the declining trend in the import volumes.
Looking ahead, key factors to monitor include Italy's domestic production of beech lumber, shifts in construction and furniture manufacturing, changes in trade regulations or tariffs, and potential substitutes. Environmental policies and sustainability reports may also significantly impact future import dynamics.
