The import of non-food products of aquatic invertebrates to Italy is projected to steadily increase over the 2024-2028 period. Starting from an estimated value of 13.821 million USD in 2024, the forecast shows a consistent year-on-year growth rate. By 2028, these imports are expected to reach 15.872 million USD, translating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.5% over these five years.
In evaluating future trends, several factors should be monitored:
- Changes in international trade policies or tariffs that might impact import costs and demand.
- Environmental regulations and sustainability practices affecting the supply chain of aquatic invertebrate products.
- Technological advancements and innovations in aquaculture and seafood harvesting.
- Shifts in consumer preferences and demand for sustainable and responsibly sourced products.
