In 2023, the gutted fresh cuckoo ray production for human consumption in French capture fisheries was estimated at a lower level compared to the forecasted increase in subsequent years. From 2024 to 2028, there is a projected growth in production value from 146.26 to 163.83 metric tons. This indicates a year-on-year growth of approximately 3.07% by 2025 and around 2.94% annually thereafter. Over the entire forecast period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is about 2.87%, reflecting steady growth potential for the industry.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental policies and fishing regulations in Europe, which could affect capture practices. Additionally, shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options may influence the market dynamics. Monitoring these factors will be essential to accurately gauge future growth and sustainability in this sector.
