Globalization has opened new markets and created opportunities for oyster and clam producers to expand their reach beyond local or regional markets. As companies from different countries compete to sell their products worldwide, they strive to improve the quality and variety of seafood they offer. This competition encourages innovation and differentiation as companies seek to attract consumers with unique products and value propositions. Furthermore, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable fishing practices and the environmental impact of overfishing. As a result, they are actively seeking out oyster and clam products that are sourced using sustainable methods. This growing demand for sustainability has been instrumental in shaping the oyster and clam market. Certifications from organizations like the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) have become important markers for consumers, ensuring that the seafood they purchase is environmentally responsible.
