The forecast for total cuttlefish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. The production is expected to decrease from 2.58 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.09 thousand metric tons by 2028, showing a significant year-on-year downward trend. Notably, the production in 2023 stood at 2.95 thousand metric tons, highlighting a stark decrease over the forecasted period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reveals an average annual decline of approximately 18%.
Going forward, watch for factors influencing this trend, such as changes in marine policies, sustainability efforts, and fluctuating consumer demand for cuttlefish. These elements could have significant implications for future production levels in Italy.
