In 2023, Italy's import of fresh or chilled live scallops stood at a volume close to the 2024 forecast, which is 2.0854 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted values suggest a slight declining trend, with the volume decreasing each year to reach 2.0668 million kilograms by 2028.

The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decline of approximately 0.23% annually over the next five years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects a marginal decrease, indicating a relatively stable but contracting market.

Future trends to watch for:

Changes in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood could impact the import volumes further.
Economic factors, trade agreements, and environmental factors affecting the availability of scallops are crucial considerations.
Technological advancements in farming or transportation may influence import trends.
