In 2023, Italy's capture fishery production for flounders, halibuts, and soles was approximately 2.57 thousand metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 onward shows a gradual decline, with production decreasing from 2.5 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 2.23 in 2028. Year-on-year, there's an average decrease of roughly 2.8%, reflecting consistent declines each year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a continual decrease, averaging about 2% annually.
Future trends to watch for include environmental and regulatory impacts on fishery practices, technological advancements in sustainable fishing, and shifts in consumer demand for these fish species. Close monitoring of these factors will be essential for stakeholders to adapt and mitigate potential impacts on production levels.
