The forecast for the total two-banded seabream production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with production decreasing from 118.3 metric tons in 2024 to 108.9 metric tons in 2028. In 2023, the production level stood higher than in 2024, further underscoring the downturn. The year-on-year variations reveal a continuous decline, with the most substantial drop occurring between 2024 and 2025. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average yearly decrease in production.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of environmental policy changes on capture fisheries.
The role of aquaculture in supplementing seabream demand as capture production declines.
Market adaptations to fluctuating supply and potential shifts towards alternative fish species.
