In 2023, the production value of whole fresh scallops and pectens in Italy's capture fisheries stood at a specific benchmark. Forecasts indicate a slight but steady increase in this value from 2024 to 2028, with each subsequent year showing a minor increment. This results in an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) which reflects gradual, stable growth.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in demand due to changing consumer preferences.
Impact of regulatory changes in fisheries policies.
Technological advancements in fisheries that might affect production efficiency.
Environmental factors and their impact on scallop populations.
