In 2023, the production of fresh giant red shrimp in capture fisheries in Italy was valued at an estimated 27.9 million Euros. For 2024, the forecast is set at 28.646 million Euros, marking a 2.68% increase from the previous year. The subsequent years show steady growth with values rising to 29.38 million Euros in 2025, indicating a 2.56% year-on-year increase, further escalating to 31.539 million Euros by 2028. This results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.51% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential market fluctuations affected by environmental policies impacting capture fisheries.
- Shifts in consumer demand and preferences toward sustainable and locally-sourced seafood.
- Innovations in fishing technology that could influence production efficiency and volumes.
- Competing pressures from other Mediterranean countries expanding their fishing operations.
