In 2024, Japan is the leading importer of prepared or preserved clams, cockles, and arkshells, followed by the United States and Italy. Past year-to-year variations show growth in most countries, with Italy, Portugal, and Taiwan experiencing significant increases in 2023. Meanwhile, Japan and the United States saw slight declines. Eastern European countries such as Slovenia and Ireland have shown substantial growth, albeit from a smaller base. However, Israel, Finland, and Norway saw a decrease in imports.
Future trends will focus on sustained demand growth in European and Asian markets, with potential increases in eco-friendly and sustainably-sourced products. Monitoring trade regulations and consumer preferences will be crucial as markets evolve.
