The market is being driven by the increasing demand for seafood, particularly clams and oysters, as more and more people become aware of the health benefits they provide.

A number of important factors are fueling the rapid expansion of the oyster and clam industry. First, there has been a surge in the demand for these shellfish, which are abundant in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vital minerals, due to the growing number of people who are aware of the health benefits of eating seafood. Market demand has also increased due to the growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly food options; after all, oyster and clam farming is often thought of as being less harmful to the environment than other types of seafood cultivation. In addition, oysters and clams have become increasingly popular in gourmet cuisine as a result of the culinary world's quest for new flavors and cuisines.
The COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected the demand for oysters and clams. A significant decline in demand for these shellfish occurred in the foodservice industry due to the closure or reduction in operations of restaurants and seafood markets caused by social distancing measures and lockdowns. Growers faced challenges with transportation and export limitations as a result of supply chain interruptions, which in turn affected the distribution of oysters and clams. Worries that the virus could be transmitted through eating shellfish also contributed to the anxiety felt by consumers. On the other hand, when people started cooking at home more, certain parts of the sector, such online seafood sales and retail, had a short upswing.
In 2023, the market was dominated by the slipper oyster segment. The unique flavor of slipper oysters is what makes them stand out from the crowd. Customers looking for a high-end, memorable dining experience will love this distinctive flavor profile.

A consistent rate of growth is expected in the Pacific cupped category. Oysters are becoming more and more beloved as a gourmet food item, which is driving up demand for Pacific cupped oysters. The distinctive flavor profile and culinary diversity of oysters are becoming more and more acknowledged, which is contributing to their growing popularity among consumers. In particular, Pacific cupped oysters have become popular due to the unique characteristics that attract oyster enthusiasts.
