The forecast for frozen oyster imports to Italy indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 1.0867 to 1.051 million US dollars. Compared to 2023, the forecasted figures suggest a continuous reduction annually. The year-on-year percentage decrease averages at approximately 0.89%, signifying a modest but consistent decline, reflective of possibly changing consumer preferences or market conditions affecting import demand. Over a five-year horizon, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) would highlight a consistent decrease in imports, with a specific attention to the overall diminishing external supply requirement.
Future trends to observe include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood and changing trade policies that could affect import costs. Additionally, emerging technologies in aquaculture might influence local production, thereby impacting the future demand for imported oysters.
