In 2023, the per capita consumption of fresh garlic in Canada was notably below 0.56 kg, marking a period of growth in the subsequent years. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted per capita consumption is projected to witness a consistent annual increase of 0.01 kg, increasing steadily from 0.56 kg to 0.6 kg.
The anticipated year-on-year growth rate stands around 1.79% annually over the five-year forecast period. This indicates a gradual upward trend in fresh garlic consumption among Canadians, reflecting a growing preference for this versatile ingredient in their diet.
Future trends to watch include shifts in dietary preferences towards more plant-based foods, which could further boost garlic consumption. Additionally, the influence of global cuisine trends and the health benefits associated with garlic may also play a role in shaping future per capita consumption patterns.
