The import value of prepared or preserved clams, cockles, and arkshells into Canada is forecasted to grow steadily from $10.198 million in 2024 to $10.534 million by 2028. This consistent growth indicates a recovery from previous trends, particularly compared to the last recorded figure for 2023, which was slightly lower. Year-on-year, the value is projected to increase by approximately 0.8% each year. Over the five-year forecast period up to 2028, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is expected to reflect similar growth, underscoring a stable demand for these imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impact of trade policies and treaties on import costs.
Consumer preferences shifting toward sustainable seafood options.
Fluctuations in the global seafood supply chain affecting availability and price.
Innovation in packaging and preservation methods increasing product shelf life and demand.
