The import of frozen whole dogfish and other sharks to Italy shows a significant and consistent decline from 2024 onwards, with a forecasted decrease of approximately 20.4% in 2025, 25.1% in 2026, 32.9% in 2027, and 47.9% in 2028. Compared to 2023, which had higher actual import volumes, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year span from 2024 to 2028 suggests an average annual decrease of 30.2% in volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood options, regulatory changes affecting shark fishing, and market demand fluctuations due to ecological and environmental concerns. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for stakeholders in the seafood import industry.
