In 2023, Italy imported 70 million kilograms of frozen fish. Forecasts indicate a consistent year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028, culminating at 63.384 million kilograms in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is negative, showing an average annual decrease in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in global fish supply chains and pricing impacting Italian import levels.
- Shifts in consumer demand in Italy towards fresh versus frozen fish.
- Impact of environmental policies and sustainability efforts on fishery production.
- Expansion of local fish production capacities reducing dependence on imports.
