In 2023, Canada’s human domestic consumption of beef and veal meat was recorded at 1.0 million metric tons (carcass weight equivalent). Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a stagnant trend, with consumption levels remaining constant at 1.0 million metric tons annually. This stability reflects zero year-on-year variation and no observed compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 onward, suggesting no expected changes in consumption volume over the forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential dietary shifts towards plant-based proteins impacting beef and veal demand.
Economic factors affecting consumer purchasing power and meat consumption preferences.
Trade policies and international agreements influencing Canada's beef and veal market.
Environmental and sustainability concerns shaping public attitudes towards meat consumption.
