The forecast for whole fresh molluscs production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 182.84 million euros in 2024, the value gradually decreases to 169.02 million euros by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change reveals a consistent reduction, highlighting a negative growth trend. This downward trajectory could be attributed to factors such as overfishing, environmental changes, and shifting consumer preferences.

For future trends, it is imperative to watch for:

Impact of environmental regulations and sustainable fishing practices.
Possible shifts in consumer demand towards alternative sources of seafood.
Technological advancements in aquaculture as a potential compensation mechanism for declining wild capture.
