In 2023, Italy's capture fisheries for freshwater and diadromous fishes stood at approximately 8.5 thousand euros per metric ton. The forecasts for the years 2024 to 2028 show a declining trend, with a gradual decrease from 8.28 to 7.2 thousand euros per metric ton. This represents an annual decline of about 3.2% year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is estimated at -2.8%, indicating a consistent downward trajectory in value.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations, climate change on fish habitats, technology in sustainable fishing practices, and shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced fish products.
