In 2023, Italy's spiny lobster production in capture fisheries was recorded at 108.7 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with production expected to drop from 100.4 metric tons in 2024 to 76.2 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a steady decrease, with an average annual decline (CAGR) of approximately 7.0% over this period. This downward trend suggests challenges in sustaining production levels in upcoming years.
Future trends to watch for include:
