The production of whole fresh Atlantic mackerel in Italy's capture fisheries is forecast to decline sharply from 321.7 metric tons in 2024 to 65.5 metric tons in 2028. This represents a significant year-on-year decrease, with notable drops between 2024-2025 by 20.7%, 2025-2026 by 25.7%, 2026-2027 by 33.3%, and 2027-2028 by 48.0%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period suggests a continual reduction at an average of approximately 34.7% per year.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental factors influencing mackerel stocks could continue to pressure production levels.
- Potential regulatory changes in fisheries management may impact future catch limits.
- Consumer shifts towards sustainable seafood options could alter market dynamics.
