In 2023, Dentex production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy was recorded at 98.0 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline, with a slight year-on-year decrease averaging about 0.7%. Specifically, the year-on-year reduction is projected to be around 0.9% by 2025, 0.7% by 2026, 0.6% by 2027, and 0.5% by 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential restrictions on capture fisheries impacting Dentex availability.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable seafood options.
