The forecast for whole fresh spotted ray production in UK capture fisheries for human consumption reveals a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Beginning at 675.64 Euros per metric ton in 2024, prices are projected to decrease annually, reaching 390.86 Euros by 2028. In 2023, the production stood notably higher, indicating a steep downward trend.
The year-on-year variation shows significant percentage decreases, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting an average negative growth over these five years. The declining values signal reduced supply or demand pressures in the UK market.
Future trends to watch for include the potential recovery in production volumes, changes in fishing regulations, and environmental factors impacting fish populations. Monitoring these could provide insights into reversing or mitigating this downward trend.
