In 2023, the production of fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in Italy's capture fisheries stood at an estimated value, providing a baseline for the forecasted data beginning in 2024. From 2024 to 2028, projections indicate a gradual decrease in production value from 21.404 million Euros to 17.361 million Euros. This reflects a continuous year-on-year decline: from 2024 to 2025 by approximately 4.8%, followed by a similar decrease in the successive years. Over this five-year period, the compound average growth rate (CAGR) marks a downward trend.
Future trends to monitor include potential changes in consumer preferences, fishing policies, and climate impact on fish populations. These factors could influence both the demand for and the sustainability of flounder, halibut, and sole fisheries in Italy.
