In 2023, the production of whole fresh stingray for human consumption in France stood at approximately 0.7 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028, with production projections of 0.6, 0.5, 0.3, 0.2, and 0.1 metric tons respectively. The year-on-year decline suggests diminishing capture fisheries' output and demand. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period indicates a significant average annual decrease.
Future trends worth noting include:
- A focus on sustainable fishing practices due to environmental concerns.
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences affecting stingray demand.
- Regulatory changes impacting the capture fisheries sector in France.
