The tuberculosis prevalence in Canada has been forecasted to maintain a stable pattern declining gradually over the coming years. From a rate of 5.7 cases per hundred thousand persons in 2024 and 2025, it decreases slightly each year to reach 5.5 by 2027, indicating a year-on-year decrease. Compared to 2023, when the prevalence was slightly higher, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, signifying an overall decrease trend.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in healthcare access, particularly for vulnerable populations, improvements in vaccination rates, and public awareness campaigns that may impact tuberculosis prevalence positively, potentially accelerating the decrease in new cases.
