Based on the available data, imports of household, hospital, and sanitary supplies of paper to Canada are projected to increase steadily from $75.724 million in 2024 to $84.842 million in 2028. Assuming the import value in 2023 was slightly less than 2024, the forecast anticipates a consistent annual growth with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflecting a moderate upward trend.
Some trends to watch for the future include:
- Shifts in global supply chain dynamics and their impact on import costs.
- Changes in Canadian domestic production capacity which could influence import dependency.
- Environmental policy changes that could affect packaging and sourcing of paper products.
