The forecast for Italy's import of fresh or chilled whole salmon shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with volumes climbing from 56.737 to 64.126 million kilograms. In 2023, the actual import volume stood at approximately 55.0 million kilograms, suggesting a continuation of the upward trend seen in recent years. The year-on-year increase ranges from roughly 3% to 4%, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) expected around 3.0%. These figures underline a consistent growth trajectory for Italian salmon imports.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of potential supply chain disruptions, shifts in consumer preferences, and changes in trade policies that could affect import volumes. The growing demand for healthy foods and aquaculture advancements might further drive these imports upward, while sustainability concerns could influence sourcing practices.
