In 2023, the production value of fresh rays, stingrays, and mantas in Italy's capture fisheries was recorded at 2.25 thousand euros per metric ton. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in value from 2.2 to 2.0 thousand euros per metric ton. Year-on-year variations indicate a steady reduction at approximately 2.27% per year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years from 2024 to 2028 is negative, reflecting a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch include increased emphasis on sustainable fishing practices, potential shifts in consumer demand towards alternative seafood, and regulatory changes impacting capture fisheries. Environmental factors and technological advancements could also significantly influence future production values. Close monitoring of industry regulations and ecological impacts will be essential for adapting strategies effectively.
