In 2023, Italy's prepared or preserved salmon imports are anticipated to be valued at approximately 26 million USD. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady increase, with values projected to reach up to 30.37 million USD by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates remain modest but consistent, indicating a stable upward trajectory. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, an increase of roughly 3.16%, while 2025 to 2026 predicts a rise of about 3.03%. From 2026 to 2027, the growth rate is expected to be around 2.91%, and from 2027 to 2028, it should be approximately 2.80%.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards fresh or alternative protein sources, which might affect demand. Additionally, economic factors such as tariffs, trade agreements, and currency fluctuations could impact import costs and pricing in the Italian market.
