In 2023, Italy's production of fresh Blue Jack Mackerel in capture fisheries for human consumption was 14.5 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase, from 14.9 metric tons in 2024 to 16.4 metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year growth from 2024 onwards varies between 2.7% and 3.1%. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 2.5%. This suggests a moderate and consistent upward trend in production, indicating a stable consumption demand and efficient fisheries management.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and fish availability.
Regulations on sustainable fishing practices affecting production levels.
Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood.
