In 2023, Canada's imports of live, fresh, or chilled sea urchins stood at approximately 2.74 million US dollars. The forecast indicates a steady growth in imports over the next five years, starting from 3.03 million US dollars in 2024, and reaching 4.26 million US dollars by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 8.85% from 2024 to 2028. The growth trend suggests an increasing demand for sea urchins in Canada, with year-on-year variations highlighting a consistent upward trajectory in value.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations in global sea urchin supply and the impact of trade policies or tariffs. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainability and local sourcing may influence import patterns in the coming years.
