The forecast for the production of frozen sharks, rays, and chimaeras in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual value was significantly lower than the forecasted figures, providing a strong basis for the projected upward trend.
The year-on-year percentage variations indicate a consistent growth, with the value rising annually between 3% to 4% from 2024 to 2028. This growth trend suggests a favorable market condition for expanding production and consumption of these species.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch include the potential impact of sustainable fishing practices, regulatory changes, and consumer demand shifts toward seafood as a protein source. Monitoring these factors could provide insights into the stability of the forecasted growth.
