As of 2023, the production value of rays, stingrays, and mantas for human consumption in Italy was stable, setting the context for the future forecast. Starting in 2024, the forecasted values reveal a consistent downward trend, diminishing from 2.24 thousand euros per metric ton to 2.07 by 2028.

Key trends to monitor include:

Potential impacts of environmental regulations on capture fisheries.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative or sustainable seafood options.
Economic factors that could affect production costs or market demand.
