In 2023, the import volume of corrugated sheets of asbestos, cellulose fibre cement to Canada was not provided, but based on forecast data for 2024 to 2028, a stable year-on-year increase is seen from 93.37 to 93.47 thousand kilograms. The growth over these years is minimal, indicating a very modest upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential regulatory changes affecting the import of asbestos products, which could impact demand.
- Technological advancements leading to alternative materials which might reduce dependency on asbestos-based products.
- Environmental and health advocacy potentially influencing public policy and consumer preferences.
