In 2023, production stood at 1.1 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a modest increase in whole fresh wide-eyed flounder production for Italy, with an increase from 1.2 metric tons in 2024 to 1.3 metric tons consistently through 2028. This reflects a year-on-year growth of 8.3% from 2023 to 2024 and stability thereafter. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is projected at 3.5%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in demand influenced by consumer preferences, sustainable fishing practices impacting supply levels, and regulatory changes within the EU affecting fisheries policies and market conditions.
