In 2023, Italy's total sand sole production in capture fisheries for human consumption was reported at 42 metric tons. Forecasted data indicates progressive growth over the next five years, with production rising to 45 metric tons in 2024, marking a 7.1% increase from the previous year. The subsequent years also exhibit similar upward trends: 12.9% in 2025, 11.2% in 2026, 10.3% in 2027, and 9.1% in 2028.

Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental sustainability efforts impacting fishing practices and yields.
- Shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood.
