In 2023, Italy's marine molluscs production in capture fisheries for human consumption was documented. Moving forward, forecasts demonstrate a gradual year-on-year increase in value from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, the production is anticipated to increase from 10.7 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024 to 11.75 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. This reflects a compounding annual growth rate (CAGR) that signals steady industry expansion.

Future trends to watch for:

Environmental regulations, which could impact capture yields and costs.
Technological advancements in fishing methods improving efficiency and sustainability.
Global demand fluctuations that can influence Italy's export potential.
