In 2023, the total blue and red shrimp production in Italy's capture fisheries for human consumption was recorded before 2024 forecasts commenced. The data indicates a declining trend, with production expected to fall from 541.9 metric tons in 2024 to 289.1 metric tons in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 12.7% from 2024 to 2025 and a similar reduction percentage in subsequent years, culminating in a five-year CAGR of approximately -15%. This consistent decrease highlights potential concerns in the sustainability of shrimp populations or changes in fishing regulations.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change and environmental policies on shrimp habitats and fishing practices.
Technological advancements in sustainable fishing and aquaculture to potentially counteract decreasing wild capture supplies.
Shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable seafood options which may influence production methods.
