The forecast for Italy's clams, cockles, and arkshells production in capture fisheries for human consumption shows a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 2.94 to 3.05 thousand euros per metric ton. This represents a consistently modest year-on-year growth rate of approximately 1% per annum. Comparatively, 2023 saw production values at 2.92, highlighting a steady expansion in this sector. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast is stable at just over 1%.
Future trends to watch include the potential impacts of environmental policies on marine life sustainability, technological advances in capture techniques, and market demand shifts due to changing consumer preferences and economic conditions in Italy and the broader EU market.
