In 2023, the import value of fresh or chilled live mussels to Italy stood at approximately 26.67 million USD. Based on forecasts, there is a gradual increase in import value up to 27.064 million USD by 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 reflects minor yet consistent increases, with increments ranging around 0.3% annually. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is minimal, suggesting stable demand without significant spikes or declines.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences, impacts of climate change on aquaculture, and changes in trade policies within the EU that might affect the supply chain dynamics for live mussels.
