As of 2024, the forecast for whole fresh Mediterranean horse mackerel production in capture fisheries in Italy reveals a steady upward trend. Starting from a base value in 2023, the forecast shows a gradual increase from 2.36 thousand Euros per metric ton in 2024 to 2.58 in 2028, representing consistent growth over this period.
- Year-on-year growth reflects a stable increase, with an average annual increase of approximately 2.25%.
- The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period suggests a healthy expansion, indicative of sustainable demand and development in production capacity.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options, potential regulatory changes affecting fisheries, and environmental impacts influencing fish populations. These factors may significantly affect pricing and production volumes beyond the current forecast period.
