In 2023, the whole fresh molluscs production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK was a benchmark for the subsequent forecasted values. From 2024 to 2028, this production is expected to show a steady increase, beginning at 121.1 million euros in 2024 and reaching 131.76 million euros by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates demonstrate a consistent upward trend, indicative of increasing demand or supply capabilities. Over this five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) underscores a positive growth trajectory in the production value.

Future trends to watch for:

Sustainability in capture practices, impacting supply stability.
Market demand fluctuations influenced by consumer preferences and economic factors.
Potential regulatory changes affecting fisheries management and production capacity.
