In 2023, the production of fresh shrimps and prawns in Italy's capture fisheries was valued at approximately 105 million Euros. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent declining trend, with values dropping from 96.756 million Euros in 2024 to 60.633 million Euros by 2028. On a year-on-year basis, the industry is expected to see negative growth rates, indicating a sustained reduction in production value.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives on capture fisheries.
Advancements in aquaculture technology as potential alternatives to capture fisheries.
Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainably sourced seafood.
Potential economic impacts from competitive international markets.
