In 2023, fresh Manila clam production in capture fisheries in the UK stood at 1.15 million euros. Looking at the forthcoming years, a steady increase is forecasted with values projected to rise from 1.1763 million euros in 2024 to 1.3007 million euros by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth, with an approximate annual increase ranging between 2.73% and 2.41% across these years.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 5-year period from 2024 to 2028 is expected to average around 2.51%. This suggests a healthy upward trajectory for the industry, reflecting increased demand or improvements in capture yields over time.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of environmental policies on marine life and capture fisheries.
The influence of technological advancements in fishing techniques on productivity.
Market demand fluctuations due to potential changes in consumer preferences and economic factors.
Effects of Brexit-related trade policies on export opportunities and market access.
