The forecast for Italy's import of fresh or chilled whole halibut shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 18.05 thousand kg in 2024 and decreasing to 12.96 thousand kg by 2028. This downward trend suggests a year-on-year decrease, with an average annual decline captured by a negative CAGR over these years. When looking at the 2023 baseline, the ongoing decline indicates potential challenges in maintaining current import levels.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic demand that might affect import levels.
- Potential adjustments in trade policies impacting halibut imports.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards other seafood or protein sources.
- Environmental factors influencing halibut availability and prices.
