The forecast for whole fresh shrimps and prawns production in Italy's capture fisheries shows a downward trend from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 8.34 thousand metric tons in 2024 and dropping to 5.85 thousand metric tons by 2028. Compared to production levels in 2023, this reflects a significant year-on-year decrease. From 2024 to 2025, the production shrinks by approximately 7.56%, and a consistent downward trend continues through to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the forecasted period highlights an average annual decrease in production.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of environmental regulations and sustainability practices on capture fisheries.
Advancements in aquaculture that might offset decreased capture production.
Influence of market demand and pricing dynamics on production incentives and international trade policies.
