In 2023, Canada's import of frozen whole Pacific salmon stood at 14.95 million kilograms. Moving into the forecasted years, there is a consistent year-on-year growth in import volume. From 2024 to 2028, the annual growth rates are approximately 2-3%, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years projected to be around 3%. This denotes a steady increase in demand and dependence on imports of Pacific salmon into Canada.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in global salmon supply which could impact import volumes and prices.
Environmental policies and sustainability measures affecting the salmon fishing industry.
Consumer preferences shifting towards sustainably sourced seafood, potentially impacting import types.
