In 2023, fresh apricot consumption in Canada was estimated at 3.07 thousand metric tons. Starting in 2024, the forecasted data shows a consistent year-on-year decline, with consumption projected to reach 2.42 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents an average annual decline (CAGR) of 4.57% over the five-year forecast period. The downward trend highlights a decline in apricot preference or availability in the Canadian market.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards other fruits or alternative snacks.
Impact of climate change on apricot production and supply chain factors affecting import prices.
Innovation in apricot-based products that may revitalize demand.
