The number of employees in the seafood sector in Italy stood at 18.7 thousand units in 2023. Forecasts for the years 2024 through 2028 project a stabilization at the same level, consistently at 18.7 thousand units annually. This implies a zero year-on-year variation in percentage from 2023 to 2028, indicating a stagnant growth rate over the forecast period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) thus stands at 0% over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of automation and technological advancements in the seafood sector, shifts in consumer demand for seafood, and regulatory changes related to fishing and sustainability practices which could influence employment numbers. Environmental factors such as overfishing and climate change may also play critical roles in shaping the industry's employment landscape.
