In 2023, the total longnose spurdog production value in Italy's capture fisheries stood at a higher level compared to projections for 2024 and beyond. Forecast data indicates a decline in production value from 2024 to 2028, with a consistent decrease every year. The year-on-year percentage decline from 2024 to 2025 is -11.04%, from 2025 to 2026 is -12.32%, from 2026 to 2027 is -13.86%, and from 2027 to 2028 is -15.96%. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is -13.42%, suggesting a challenging outlook for the industry.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in fishing practices that may help stabilize or enhance production efficiency.
Environmental regulations that could impact fishing quotas and the sustainability of the longnose spurdog population.
Market demand fluctuations driven by consumer preferences for seafood alternatives, influenced by sustainability concerns.
Economic conditions and currency fluctuations that might affect the profitability and competitive positioning of Italian fisheries in the European market.
