The forecast for fresh molluscs production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, production is expected at 32.6 thousand metric tons, decreasing to 28.68 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year, the production is anticipated to decline by approximately 3-4% annually. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a steady decrease in production volumes.
Looking ahead, key future trends include potential impacts from environmental sustainability initiatives and regulatory changes affecting fishing practices. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences toward alternative protein sources might further influence production dynamics in this sector.
