In 2023, Canada's re-import of fresh or chilled yellowfin tunas was estimated at around 1.87 thousand kilograms. Forecasts indicate a steady annual growth from 2024 to 2028, with values projected to rise from 1.97 to 2.41 thousand kilograms. Year-on-year growth rates show a consistent increase, approximately between 5% and 6% annually. Over the forecasted five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be about 5.1%, highlighting a robust upward trend in the re-import volume of yellowfin tunas.
Looking forward, industry stakeholders should monitor factors such as changes in fishing regulations, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and consumer preferences towards eco-friendly and traceable seafood, as these could significantly impact future imports.
