The forecast for UK's clams, cockles, and arkshells production in capture fisheries indicates a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028 with values moving from 1.96 to 2.10 thousand euros per metric ton. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth, with an average annual increase (CAGR) over the five-year period. In 2023, actual data showed a similar value to 2024, serving as a baseline for these forecasts. Assuming stable demand and economic conditions, this upward trend suggests a positive outlook for the sector.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in fishing practices, regulatory changes impacting capture fisheries, and shifting consumer preferences toward sustainably sourced seafood. Additionally, monitoring environmental factors and global economic conditions will be crucial as they could impact production and pricing significantly.
