The forecast for Italy's import of frozen whole hake suggests a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, as indicated by the projections of decreasing import volumes from 4.7559 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.6401 million kilograms in 2028. This downward trajectory reflects a decrease in the imports at an approximate average annual decline rate shown in the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) calculations.
Future trends to watch for include:
• Changes in domestic demand for hake and competition from other seafood products.
• Alterations in Italian dietary habits and preferences which might influence import needs.
• Potential trade policies and agreements that could impact import costs and availability.
• Environmental changes affecting hake supply and sustainability practices.
