The forecasted import of fresh or chilled lobsters to Italy shows a slight decline from 3.1574 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.0501 million kilograms in 2028. In 2023, the imports stood at approximately the same level as 2024, indicating a consistent yet marginal decrease over the subsequent years. This represents an average annual reduction of about 0.85% over the five-year period (CAGR). The year-on-year reductions average around 0.85% from 2024 onwards, reflecting a stable but declining demand or adjustment in supply conditions.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of changes in trade agreements and tariffs on seafood imports.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood, possibly affecting lobster demand.
Economic factors influencing purchasing power and demand for luxury food items in Italy.
