As of 2023, France's total cockle production in capture fisheries was recorded at 802.6 metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, production is forecasted to increase steadily from 829.4 to 933.8 metric tons. This reflects annual growth rates of 3.2% from 2024 to 2025, 3.1% from 2025 to 2026, 2.9% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.8% from 2027 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, which could alter cockle habitats.
Changes in international demand for seafood, influencing production targets and export opportunities.
Advancements in sustainable fishing practices can enhance production efficiency.
