Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of changing marine biodiversity and climate conditions on squid availability.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood, which might influence demand and production practices.
Regulatory changes impacting fishing quotas and environmental compliance that could alter production dynamics.
