From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted figures reveal a continuous upward trend, with an average annual increase of approximately 5%. This positive trajectory indicates a growing market value, reflecting either increased demand, higher prices, or both.
Key future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on Mediterranean ecosystems, affecting mussel populations.
- Advancements in sustainable fishing practices and their adoption rates.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood, possibly influencing market dynamics.
