The forecasted sales of Canadian fortified wines from 2024 to 2028 show a gradual decline, starting at 30.81 million CAD in 2024 and decreasing to 27.88 million CAD by 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year decline in sales, with an average annual decrease (CAGR) over the five years. Compared to previous years, this steady decline highlights a negative growth trend, with a decrease of approximately 2.4% annually since 2023, when the market stood slightly higher.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifting consumer preferences towards lighter wines or other alcoholic beverages may accelerate sales declines.
- Potential trade agreements or tariff changes impacting wine imports and exports.
- Promotional strategies and marketing initiatives targeting younger demographics could alter demand patterns.
