By 2028, imports are expected to reach 156.72 thousand metric tons, indicating a steady increase from 2024's 150.73 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year rise suggests an annual average growth rate, or CAGR, albeit modest, reflecting increased demand or consumption trends in Canada.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic production capacity which might affect import needs.
- Potential shifts in trade policies or tariffs affecting import costs.
- Consumer preferences transitioning towards alternative proteins impacting demand.
