The forecasted value of fresh shellfish production in capture fisheries in Italy from 2024 to 2028 indicates a modest growth trajectory. Starting at 7.73 thousand Euros per metric ton in 2024, it is expected to reach 8.89 by 2028. There is a noticeable year-on-year growth, with an approximate increase of 3.8% in 2025 and maintaining similar growth levels across the forecast period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period stands at about 3.5%. This positive trend reflects a stable increase in valuation, as the sector recovers and evolves from previous conditions.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in fishing methods and sustainability practices could further enhance productivity and capture value.
Market demand, both domestically and internationally, may influence pricing and production levels.
Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems could affect shellfish availability and quality, necessitating adaptive strategies.
