The projected import of potato flour or meal to Italy shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 10.821 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 11.869 million kilograms by 2028. This marks a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 2.5% annually. This stable upward trend suggests a consistent rise in demand. Unfortunately, the data for 2023 is not provided, making it impossible to perform a thorough year-on-year analysis for that year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecast period stands at around 2.34%, signaling steady growth over five years.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative flours due to dietary changes or economic factors, which may impact the import volumes. Additionally, geopolitical developments or trade policies might affect supply chain dynamics and costs, influencing import levels in the underlying European market.
