In 2023, Italy's total spotted flounder production in capture fisheries for human consumption stood at an approximate level of 40 metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, a steady decline is forecasted, dropping from 37.5 metric tons in 2024 to 25.2 metric tons by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) decrease of about 8.8% over these five years. Notably, each year witnesses a year-on-year reduction in production, with variations between -10.3% and -7.7% in these last two years.
Future trends to watch include the sustainability practices within the fishing industry, potential policy changes in EU fishing quotas, and the impact of climate change on fish populations. These factors could significantly influence future production levels.
