As of 2024, the forecast for Italy's whole fresh European flounder production in capture fisheries for human consumption indicates an upward trend. The value per metric ton is projected to gradually increase from 9.71 thousand euros in 2024 to 9.86 thousand euros by 2028. This series highlights a slow yet steady growth, reflecting a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.21% within this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years stands at approximately 0.20% per annum.
Future trends to monitor include potential changes in demand driven by consumer preferences, sustainability requirements affecting capture fisheries, and potential impacts from ecological shifts that could influence fish populations and thus supply chains.
