The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled whole mackerel to Canada indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from $2.2688 million to $2.4552 million. This growth suggests a modest but consistent demand increase for mackerel over these years. Compared to the pre-forecast year of 2023, we see a smooth upward trend, which is common in gradual market expansions.
The year-on-year variations reveal a progressive increase in imports, and over the five-year period, the average compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) underscores a stable increment.
Future trends to watch for include potential market responses to sustainability initiatives, shifts in consumer preferences toward healthier diets, and global fishing policies that could impact mackerel availability and prices.
