In 2023, the value of whole fresh rays, stingrays, and mantas production in Italy's capture fisheries stood at approximately 2.25 thousand euros per metric ton. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a consistent downward trend, with a year-on-year variation of approximately -2.33% between 2024 and 2025, followed by a declining pattern to reach 2.0 by 2028. Over this period, the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately -2.3%, indicating a gradual reduction in value.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in fishing regulations, market demand fluctuations, and environmental impacts on fish populations which might influence price adjustments in the long term. An increased focus on sustainable fishing practices could also play a crucial role in shaping production dynamics.
