In 2023, the production of whole fresh European flounder for human consumption in Italy was 26.8 Metric Tons. The forecast indicates a gradual decline across the years from 2024 to 2028, with production values decreasing from 26.4 Metric Tons to 24.9 Metric Tons. Observing year-on-year variations, the production is expected to decrease by approximately 1.9% in 2025, 1.5% in 2026, 1.2% in 2027, and 1.2% in 2028. Over a five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual decline of approximately 1.5%.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of regulatory changes in fisheries management, environmental factors affecting marine ecosystems, and shifts in consumer demand, which could further influence production levels.
