In 2023, the fresh frigate and bullet tuna production in Italy's capture fisheries for human consumption stood at 3.60 thousand Euros per metric ton. From 2024 to 2028, the production value is forecasted to steadily increase, showing a year-on-year growth of approximately 6% to 6.4%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is expected to be around 6.2%, indicating robust industry growth driven by increasing demand and efficient fisheries management.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of climate change on fishery biodiversity and consequently on tuna supply.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable and ethically sourced seafood.
- Regulatory changes that may affect fishing practices and sustainability measures.
