The import of earth colours containing 70% or more of iron as ferrous oxide to Canada is forecasted to see a modest but steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing from 40.21 to 40.71 thousand kilograms. This reflects a gradual upward trend of approximately 0.3% year-on-year growth over the period. In 2023, the imports stood at 40.1 thousand kilograms, marking a stable consumption pattern.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential disruptions in global supply chains that could affect import volumes.
Shifts in domestic industrial demand due to changes in construction and manufacturing activities.
Environmental regulations impacting the use of such materials in various industries.
