In 2023, Italy's production of cods, hakes, and haddocks in capture fisheries for human consumption was approximately 7.27 thousand metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline, with production values decreasing from 7.07 to 6.27 thousand metric tons, reflecting a year-on-year decline of about 2.83% from 2024 to 2025 and maintaining a similar trend onwards. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is expected to show an average decline of approximately 2.86% per year.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential impacts of sustainable fishing practices and environmental regulations.
Shifts in consumer demand for alternative fish species or aquaculture products.
Economic factors and global trade policies affecting fishery imports and exports.
