In 2023, the production of fresh tunas, bonitos, and billfishes in Italy stood at an estimated 10.02 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasted data indicates a consistent growth in production. The production is expected to rise from 10.75 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 13.54 thousand metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year growth shows an increase of approximately 6.6% from 2024 to 2025, and further by 6.1% from 2025 to 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is around 5.8%, reflecting a robust upward trend.
In the future, attention should be paid to factors such as sustainable fishing practices, potential impacts of climate change on fish populations, and demand fluctuations due to changing consumer preferences. Furthermore, regulations and trade policies in the EU might influence the growth trajectory of this sector.
