In 2023, the import of live animals excluding farm animals to Canada was significantly less. By 2024, forecasts reveal a steady year-on-year growth, with imports expected to increase to 104.32 Million US Dollars. Over the forecasted period up to 2028, the market shows consistent growth, reaching 119.25 Million US Dollars in annual imports. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period is approximately 3.4%, indicating a stable upward trend fueled by the demand for diverse and exotic animal species alongside regulatory adjustments that facilitate imports.

Future Trends to Watch:

Increasing regulatory oversight on live animal imports, aimed at ensuring both animal welfare and biodiversity protection.
Potential impacts of trade policies or environmental concerns, which could alter import dynamics.
Rising consumer interest in unique pet species and conservation projects may further drive import numbers.
