In 2023, the value of fresh oval surf clam production in capture fisheries in France stood at 1.20 thousand euros per metric ton. From 2024 onward, forecasts indicate a declining trend with values decreasing from 1.14 in 2024 to 0.89 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. The expected declines reflect an annual contraction, with the steepest drop projected between 2027 and 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Environmental regulations and their potential impact on capture fisheries output and costs.
Market demand shifts potentially due to changing consumer preferences or economic conditions.
Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices that may influence production efficiencies and costs.
