In the UK capture fisheries, the gutted fresh shagreen ray's value per metric ton is forecasted to increase modestly from 2.15 thousand euros in 2024 to 2.22 thousand euros by 2028. Compared to 2023, which marked the baseline for recent data analyses, these figures show a consistent annual growth. The projected year-on-year increases are relatively stable, suggesting a market with mild, steady inclines and a compound annual growth rate reflecting sustainable sector development.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of environmental regulations or conservation measures on shagreen ray stocks.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates affecting export revenues.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options, potentially affecting demand.
