Forecasted consumption of fresh watermelons per capita in Canada is set to increase gradually from 6.16 kilograms in 2024 to 6.45 kilograms by 2028. This indicates an annual growth, with year-on-year variation around 1-1.5%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is anticipated to be approximately 0.9%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier diets which could boost watermelon consumption further. Additionally, changes in domestic production and international trade policies could influence availability and pricing, subsequently affecting consumption patterns.
