The production of freshwater and diadromous fishes in Italy, for human consumption, is forecasted to experience a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 8.28 thousand Euros per metric ton in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 7.2 by 2028. This represents a year-on-year percentage decline from 2024 to 2025 and further consistent decreases through 2028. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates a steady decrease over this period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of regulatory changes and sustainability initiatives on fishing practices.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture possibly offsetting declines in capture fisheries.
- Market demand shifts driven by consumer preferences for sustainable and local food sources.
- Environmental challenges and their effect on freshwater resources and fish habitats.
