In 2023, the production of whole fresh clams, cockles, and arkshells in capture fisheries in France was valued slightly below 6 million Euros. Starting from 2024, the forecasted data indicates a consistent year-on-year growth, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 2024-2028 period of approximately 7.2%. Each successive year shows a stable increase, reflecting a positive outlook for the industry.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of regulatory changes in the European fishing industry which may influence production volumes or valuation.
- Market demand fluctuations driven by consumer trends towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood.
- Environmental factors and climate change effects which could alter marine ecosystems and affect shellfish yields.
