The production of blue and red shrimp in Italy's capture fisheries is facing a significant decline over the next five years. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a consistent decrease in output, starting from 541.9 metric tons in 2024 and dropping to 289.1 metric tons by 2028. Comparing annual outputs, the year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2025 is roughly 12.7%, 13.7% from 2025 to 2026, 15% from 2026 to 2027, and another 16.7% from 2027 to 2028, with a considerable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicating an average annual decline over this period.
Future trends to watch for include changes in market demand, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and potential impacts of climate change on shrimp populations. Additionally, regulatory shifts in EU fishing policies could play a significant role in shaping the industry’s landscape.
