The forecasted production value of clams, cockles, and arkshells in Italy's capture fisheries shows a steady decline from €61.629 million in 2024 to €58.869 million by 2028. In 2023, this value stood at higher levels than the forecasted 2024 figure, indicating a gradual downward trend.
Year-on-year, the production value is expected to decline by approximately 1.1% between 2024 and 2025 and about 1.0% annually from 2026 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period is negative, reflecting a consistent annual decrease.
Future trends to watch for include market adaptation to shifts in consumer preferences and regulatory impacts on capture fisheries. Sustainable practices and innovations in aquaculture could potentially stabilize or reverse the declining trend in production value.
