As of 2023, the whole fresh clams, cockles, and arkshells production in capture fisheries in France stood at 1.35 Thousand Euros Per Metric Ton. From 2024 to 2028, a downward trend is expected, with values declining from 1.33 to 1.26 Thousand Euros Per Metric Ton. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.5% annually. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is expected to be negative, indicating a gradual decline in value per metric ton.

Future trends to watch for:

Monitoring environmental changes that affect shellfish habitats, influencing sustainable yields.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood impacting demand.
Technological advancements in aquaculture that might offset declines in capture fisheries.
