The forecast for surmullet production in capture fisheries in Italy from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease in value. From 2024 to 2028, the values drop from 13.39 million Euros to 9.4106 million Euros. This sequential decline shows a negative compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), suggesting the industry's contraction. In 2023, before the forecast period, the value was higher, signaling a trend of diminishing production or economic value.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential causes for the decline, such as overfishing, regulatory changes, and environmental concerns.
Possible shifts in consumer demand or substitution with alternative fish species.
Technological advancements in fishing practices and sustainability efforts.
Market and policy responses to stimulate this sector should the downward trend continue.
