In 2023, the production of gutted fresh Thornback Ray in UK capture fisheries was 673.50 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a steady increase, with the production expected to reach 739.95 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth is projected at approximately 2% to 2.3% over the next few years. Given this data, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is estimated to be modestly around 1.9%.
Future trends to watch for include the influence of environmental regulations and climate change on the availability of Thornback Ray, as these factors may impact both capture rates and market demand. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options could further shape production dynamics.
