The forecast for whole fresh clams production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK suggests a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028. The production value in 2023 was not included, but starting from 2024, there is a steady annual growth observed, with the value reaching 233.04 thousand euros by 2028. Year-on-year variations reflect an average increase of about 1.6% annually over this five-year forecast period, which suggests a stable compound annual growth rate (CAGR). These trends indicate a consistent and modest upward movement in clams production value.
Future trends to watch for include:
- A potential increase in global demand for seafood, which may drive higher production rates.
- The impact of sustainability practices and legislation on capture fisheries.
- Technological advancements in harvesting and processing that could influence production efficiency.
- Fluctuations in climate changes that may affect marine life and resource availability.
