The blue and red shrimp production in Italy, expressed in value, shows a marked decline from 2024 to 2028, diverging significantly from its 2023 levels. The production value is set to drop by around 24.2% from 2024 to 2025, and by 31.6% from 2025 to 2026. The downtrend continues, with a significant 45.7% decrease from 2026 to 2027, finally plunging 83.3% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period indicates an ongoing reduction in value, significantly affecting the economic landscape for shrimp fisheries.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes aimed at sustaining marine biodiversity, evolving consumer preferences towards more sustainable seafood, and potential technological advancements in aquaculture that may offset declines in capture fisheries. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for stakeholders in this sector.
