In 2023, the value of whole fresh European eel production in capture fisheries in Italy was presumably higher, given the forecasted decline starting from 2024. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent decline in value, with an approximate reduction of 3-4% year-on-year. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a steady negative trend, indicating a downturn in the market value per metric ton of eel.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences affecting demand.
- Regulatory changes impacting fishery practices and conservation efforts.
- Technological advancements improving capture efficiency or sustainability.
