The import of live pure-bred breeding bovine animals to Canada is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the actual import value stood at an estimated 13.2 million USD. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent increase, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) observed over the five-year period, indicating a robust trend driven by Canada's agricultural sector dynamics and genetic improvement priorities.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of emerging biotechnology on breeding efficiency, potentially influencing import dynamics positively.
Trade policy changes that could affect tariffs or non-tariff barriers influencing the cost-effectiveness of imports.
The demand for sustainable and superior genetic stock as the emphasis on quality and productivity increases within the Canadian cattle industry.
