The forecast for whole fresh spiny lobster production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy shows a consistent declining trend from 2024 through 2028. The production value in 2023 stood higher than in forecasted years, reinforcing this downward trajectory. Year-on-year variations portray a notable decrease, with significant contractions each year. Over the five-year span, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a pronounced negative growth pattern, indicating decreasing economic viability for the sector.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The potential impact of environmental regulations and policies on lobster fishing.
- Market demand shifts driven by consumer preferences and alternative protein sources.
- Advancements in sustainable fishing technologies that may alter production capabilities.
