In 2023, the production of gutted fresh common eagle rays in France's capture fisheries for human consumption was at 0.6 metric tons. Forecast data indicates a declining trend with 0.5 metric tons in 2024, dropping to 0.3 metric tons by 2028. This is a 40% decrease over five years, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 16% from 2023 to 2024, stabilizing with consecutive annual drops in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over 2024-2028 is projected to be -12.2%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental regulations, shifts in consumer preferences, and market competition affecting capture fisheries. Close monitoring of sustainable fishing practices could also play a critical role in production dynamics.
