The forecasted pelagic fish export volume in Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 54.52 thousand metric tons in 2024 and dropping to 41.98 thousand metric tons by 2028. For context, the export volume stood at 58.32 thousand metric tons in 2023. This translates to a year-on-year decrease of -5.93% in 2024, -5.93% in 2025, -5.89% in 2026, -6.46% in 2027, and -7.49% in 2028. Over the last five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) shows an average annual decline of -6.14%.
Future trends to watch for include changing consumer preferences toward sustainably sourced seafood, potential regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas, and the impact of environmental factors such as climate change on fish populations. These factors could further influence the declining trend in pelagic fish export volumes.
