Bivalve Market:  By Species (Clams, Cockles & Arkshells, Mussels, Oysters, Scallops And Pectens) and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East And Asia, And Latin America) And Forecast To 2030

Bivalve Market size was valued at USD 28,366.7 million in 2021 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 2.2% from 2024-2030. Bivalves are a class of marine and freshwater mollusks that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts. They are also known as Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda. The class includes clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other families that live in saltwater, as well as a number of families that live in freshwater. The majority are filter feeders. Bivalves have bilaterally symmetrical and laterally flattened bodies, with a blade-shaped foot, vestigial head, and no radula. At the dorsal or back region of the shell is the hinge point or line, which contains the umbo and beak, and the lower, curved margin is the ventral or underside region. The anterior or front of the shell is where the byssus (when present) and foot are located, and the posterior of the shell is where the siphons are located. The growth of the bivalves market is being driven by a number of factors, such as The increasing demand for bivalves as a source of protein and other nutrients. The growing popularity of aquaculture as a source of bivalves. The increasing demand for bivalves in emerging markets. The development of new bivalve products and applications. It is expected that the volume of clams, cockles, and ark shells will grow by 1.9% CAGR over the forecast years, reaching 6,584.8 thousand tonnes by 2028. Similarly, it is anticipated that the volume of mussels will grow by 1.7% CAGR over the forecast years, reaching 2,356.4 thousand tonnes by 2028. The market for oysters is also expected to grow by 3.0% CAGR over the forecast years, reaching 8,021.5 thousand tonnes by 2028. Finally, it is predicted that the volume of scallops and pectens will grow by 1.6% CAGR over the forecast years, reaching 2,296.1 thousand tonnes by 2028. These projections suggest a promising future for the seafood market in the years to come.
