In 2023, the value of fresh spotted ray production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy was recorded at 2.54 thousand euros per metric ton. Forecasts from 2024 show a consistent decline with values falling from 2.34 in 2024 to 1.53 in 2028.

Year-on-year variations highlight a downward trend with a 9.0% decline from 2024 to 2025, and progressively reflective negative growth rates thereafter, indicating a consistent decrease in value over the forecast period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the 2023-2028 period is approximately -9.4%, signifying a notable deceleration in the market value.

Future trends to watch for:

Further decline due to potential restrictions on capture fisheries or decreased demand.
Emergence of sustainable practices might mitigate value losses.
Impact of environmental policies and climate change on the production trends.
