In 2023, the whole fresh small-eyed ray production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at a certain baseline. Forecasted data reveals a consistent decline in value from 2024 to 2028, decreasing annually from 1.83 to 1.57 thousand euros per metric ton. Between 2024 and 2025, the year-on-year variation shows a decrease of approximately 3.28%, followed by a 3.95% decline from 2025 to 2026, and similar subsequent yearly declines. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period indicates an average annual decline of approximately 3.62%.
Future trends to watch include changes in fishing regulations, consumer demand for sustainable seafood, and potential shifts in ray population due to environmental factors. Monitoring these aspects could provide insights into market dynamics and potential recovery or further decline in the production value.
