Future trends to watch for include:
- The potential for Italy to stabilize its production levels despite recent declines.
- Continued robust growth in the French market, driven by increasing demand.
- Moderate growth potential in Spain as it seeks to expand its murex industry.
- Portugal and Slovenia may continue their upward trends, although their market impact remains small.
