In 2023, France's fresh Thornback ray production in capture fisheries stood at 1.9 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a consistent upward trend, starting at 1.97 thousand metric tons in 2024 and rising to 2.27 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are projected to hover around 3.9% over the period from 2024 to 2028. This consistent increase results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.6% for this five-year span.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of environmental regulations, changes in oceanic conditions due to climate change, and shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood products, all of which could influence production volumes.
