The Canadian import of frozen whole skipjack and stripe-bellied bonito is projected to continue its steady growth from 2024 through 2028, increasing from $459.2 thousand in 2024 to $490.24 thousand in 2028. This shows a positive trend with year-on-year growth rates hovering around 1.7% to 1.8%. In 2023, the actual imports stood at $450.5 thousand, indicating a consistent incremental rise.
Looking forward, stakeholders should keep an eye on factors such as global fishery stocks, sustainability practices, and trade policies that could impact the market. Additionally, consumer preference changes towards sustainable seafood could significantly alter import dynamics.
