In 2023, the value of fresh Norway lobster production for human consumption in Italy stood at a lower point, and the forecast for the following years suggests a steady increase. The forecasted figures from 2024 to 2028 show moderate year-on-year growth. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, there is an increase from 23.87 to 24.11 thousand euros per metric ton, representing a percentage growth. Successive years follow a similar trend, marking consistent incremental rises culminating in a value of 24.82 thousand euros per metric ton in 2028. This reflects an average compound annual growth rate over the five years.
Key trends to watch for in the future include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on fishery yields and market prices.
- Changes in consumer demand influenced by economic conditions and dietary trends.
- Regulatory changes in fisheries management that may affect production volumes and operational costs.
