The production of abalones, winkles, and conchs in Italy’s capture fisheries for human consumption is forecasted to decline significantly over the coming years, dropping from 1.84 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 0.7029 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year percentage changes reveal a consistent downward trend, indicating decreasing availability or demand. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) across this period shows a significant negative trend, reinforcing the expectation of declining output.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental changes impacting marine biodiversity.
- Regulatory measures affecting capture fisheries.
- Potential market demand shifts towards sustainable seafood.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture as alternatives to wild capture.
