In 2023, the production of gutted fresh rays and skates in France stood at 4.0 metric tons. The forecast for 2024 shows a significant decline to 3.1 metric tons, followed by a decrease to 2.1 metric tons in 2025, 1.3 metric tons in 2026, 0.7 metric tons in 2027, and further down to 0.2 metric tons in 2028. This indicates a year-on-year contraction, with substantial reductions between each period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 suggests a sharp negative average annual change in production volume.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of overfishing and regulatory restrictions on capture fisheries.
Market demand shifts towards sustainable seafood alternatives.
