In 2023, Italy's fresh sandy ray production in capture fisheries stood at 1.5 metric tons. The forecast for 2024 indicates a decrease to 1.3 metric tons, followed by successive declines to 0.3 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations reveal a significant downtrend: 15.4% decrease from 2023 to 2024, and further drops of 15.4% in 2025, 27.3% in 2026, 37.5% in 2027, and 40% in 2028. Over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averages at a substantial decline of 27.94%.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory impacts on fisheries, sustainability initiatives in response to declining stocks, and global economic factors affecting market demand. Adaptations within the fishing industry and potential shifts to alternative sources could influence future trajectories.
