The data indicates a gradual decline in the import of frozen whole flatfish to Italy from 2024 to 2028, starting at 738.75 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 691.38 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decrease from 2024 to 2025 is 1.66%, and this pattern of decline continues consistently with a similar rate through to 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period illustrates a steady decrease, reflecting a trend of diminishing imports.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in consumer preferences towards fresher or alternative fish products, market conditions in the fishing industry, and regulatory changes in both Italy and exporting countries, which might influence the volume of imports.
