Italy's import of fresh or chilled whole dogfish and other sharks is forecasted to see a slight but steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The annual growth in volume is incremental, with each year seeing approximately a 0.64% year-on-year increase, reflecting a gradual rise in demand or supply conditions. This modest yet consistent growth trajectory aligns with consumer trends and market dynamics as observed in the years leading up to 2024. In 2023, the import volume stood at approximately 2.35 million kilograms, providing a baseline for these forecasted increases.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood, changes in environmental or fishing regulations impacting supply, and fluctuations in the global seafood market that could alter import volumes. Monitoring these factors will be essential for stakeholders to adjust strategies and expectations accordingly.
