In 2023, the per capita consumption of fresh plums in Canada was 0.44 kilograms. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in consumption, from 0.43 kilograms in 2024 to 0.39 kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.33%, with a CAGR of -2.33% over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards other fruits may continue to affect plum consumption negatively.
Market interventions, such as promotions or awareness campaigns highlighting the nutritional benefits of plums, could alter the forecasted downward trend.
Changes in import policies or plum production challenges might further influence availability and consumption rates.
