The barley beer production in Canada is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. These forecasts, starting at 2.1832 million metric tons in 2024 and expected to reach 2.1975 million metric tons by 2028, suggest a modest overall increase. In comparison to 2023, actual figures were slightly below 2.1832 million metric tons. The average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period is consistent, though growth remains incremental each year.
Looking ahead, several trends warrant attention:
- Potential impacts of climate change on barley yield and quality.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards craft and specialty beers.
- Trade policies affecting barley import and export dynamics.
