The forecasted mutton and goat meat import volume in Canada is on a slightly increasing trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 22.93 thousand metric tons and reaching 23.51 thousand metric tons. In 2023, the actual import volume was slightly lower than the projected value for 2024. The year-on-year growth is minimal, indicating steady but slow demand growth over five years with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting this modest increase.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources affecting import volumes.
Regulatory shifts and trade policy adjustments that could impact import costs and thus volumes.
Climate change impacts on global supply chains influencing price and availability.
