In 2023, the production of whole fresh razor clams in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK stood at a significant baseline. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 predict a steady annual increase in production value from 1.3325 million euros in 2024 to 1.6797 million euros in 2028. This demonstrates a consistent year-on-year growth, with an estimated average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential regulatory changes affecting capture fisheries.
- Market demand shifts due to changing consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood.
- Impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and subsequent fishery yields.
