The production of fresh sharks, rays, and chimaeras in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy is forecasted to grow modestly from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the value per metric ton stood just slightly below 2024's 4.11 thousand euros. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 is minimal, with a negligible increase observed, stabilizing around 4.12 by 2026. Looking at the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the average annual growth is virtually flat, indicating a steady trend with very limited growth.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory impacts on capture fisheries, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood, and environmental factors affecting marine populations. These elements could influence both production volumes and values in the upcoming years.
