In 2023, the production of Raja Rays for human consumption in Italy stood at 2.80 thousand euros per metric ton. Forecast data suggests a declining trend, with an average annual decrease rate (CAGR) of approximately 5.9% from 2024 to 2028. Year-on-year variations illustrate steady reductions: from 2024 to 2025 by 5.7%, 2025 to 2026 by 5.6%, 2026 to 2027 by 6.4%, and from 2027 to 2028 by 6.4%. This consistent decline reflects potential reductions in demand, changes in consumer preferences, or regulatory impacts.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from regulatory changes, sustainability demands, and consumer shifts toward alternative species. Monitoring global economic conditions and changes in fishing technology may also provide insights into potential production adjustments.
