The forecast for Italy's fresh molluscs production in capture fisheries from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend. The production value begins at 182.84 million euros in 2024, and decreases steadily each year, reaching 169.02 million euros by 2028. This reflects a progressive reduction, with an average annual decrease of around 2.0% over the five-year period. In comparison, the figures for 2023 are not provided, but these forecasts suggest a consistent downturn likely influenced by market dynamics and ecological factors.

Future trends to watch include:

Environmental policies and their impact on fishing practices.
Consumer demand shifts towards sustainability and alternative sources.
Technological advances in aquaculture potentially affecting capture fishery outputs.
Global economic factors influencing pricing and cost pressures.
