In 2023, Italy's alive fresh seafood production in capture fisheries was valued at 28.5 million euros. From 2024 onwards, forecasted values show a consistent upward trend, growing from 29.158 million euros in 2024 to 30.176 million euros by 2028.

Year-on-year variations indicate a steady increase of approximately 0.9% to 1% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is estimated at around 0.9%, reflective of modest but consistent growth in this sector over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change on fishery yields.
Regulatory changes in EU fishing quotas.
Shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood options.
