In 2023, the re-import of vegetable tanning extracts, tannins, and salts to Canada stood at an unspecified value, as only forecasted data from 2024 onward is available. The forecast indicates a steady growth in re-imports from $239 in 2024 to $272 in 2028. Notably, the year-on-year growth rates illustrate an increase of approximately 3.3% to 3.7% annually during this period.
