The UK production of whole fresh clams, cockles, and arkshells in capture fisheries is projected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 21.425 million Euros to 24.495 million Euros. This reflects a consistent upward trend with an approximate annual growth rate, or CAGR, of about 3.4% over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Continued impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity and clam habitats.
- Potential changes in consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood options.
- Regulatory shifts and their effects on capture fisheries management and production limits.
