The forecast for France's oval surf clam production in capture fisheries shows a positive growth trend from 2024 through 2028, with the production anticipated to increase from 1.67 to 2.2 thousand metric tons. This suggests an upward trajectory year-on-year, with calculated annual variations of approximately 7.78% from 2024 to 2025 and 7.78% from 2025 to 2026. Looking at the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands around 7.07%.
In 2023, the production of oval surf clams was slightly lower, marking the beginning of this forecasted growth. Future trends to monitor include the impacts of policy changes on sustainable fishing, climate effects on clam habitats, and potential market shifts due to dietary trends and consumer preferences.
