In 2023, the import of fresh or chilled whole dogfish and other sharks to Canada stood at 142.0 thousand kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 onwards suggests a downward trend, with imports expected to decrease steadily each year: from 133.49 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 102.11 thousand kilograms in 2028.

The year-on-year variation from 2024 indicates a consistent decline as imports are expected to reduce by approximately 6% each year from 2024 onwards. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period reflects an average yearly decrease in volume of roughly 6.4%.

Future trends to watch for:

Changes in consumer demand and preferences may impact the import volume of dogfish and other sharks.
Shifts in environmental regulations and fishing policies could further restrict supply or influence import volumes.
Potential developments in sustainable seafood sourcing may alter market dynamics.
