The forecast for whole fresh Northern Prawn production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with production expected to rise from 207.1 metric tons to 222.9 metric tons. Given the consistent rise, this suggests an average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period, highlighting a sustained interest and reliance on this seafood resource. In 2023, production stood at a slightly lower volume, underscoring a progressive trajectory in the forthcoming years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Environmental sustainability efforts that may impact capture quotas and practices.
Potential market demand fluctuations influenced by consumer preferences and economic factors.
Navigating any regulatory changes in the EU that could affect production capabilities.
