The import of prepared or preserved molluscs and shellfish to Italy is projected to grow steadily from 110.4 million kilograms in 2024 to 131.51 million kilograms by 2028. This forecast suggests a consistent annual increase of approximately 5% year-on-year, reflecting strong demand or possible supply chain efficiencies. In 2023, imports stood at a significantly lower baseline, marking a notable upward trajectory beginning in 2024. Over the upcoming five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to mirror this positive trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential consumption shifts driven by changing dietary preferences, sustainability initiatives influencing import volumes, and fluctuations in global supply chains. Monitoring these elements could provide insights into further adjustments needed in forecasting models.
