The value of gutted fresh ratfishes production for human consumption in France is seeing a clear downward trend. Starting at 4.86 thousand euros in 2024, the forecast suggests a significant drop to 0.57514 thousand euros by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of approximately 22.22% between 2024 and 2025, 28.64% from 2025 to 2026, 39.41% from 2026 to 2027, and a steep 64.73% decline from 2027 to 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecasted period indicates a substantial average annual reduction in production value.

Market adaptations: As the gutted fresh ratfish market shrinks, watch for alternative product offerings or shifts towards sustainability.
