The forecast for the import of salted or in brine herrings to Canada shows a decline from 151.96 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 104.09 thousand kilograms in 2028. Compared to 2023, there is a consistent year-on-year decrease: 2025 sees an 8.1% decrease, 2026 sees a further 8.7% decrease, and this trend continues with a 9.3% drop in 2027, and finally a 10.0% reduction by 2028. This represents a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -9.12% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in consumer preferences towards non-preserved fish products, increasing demand for fresh seafood, and possible regulatory disruptions in fish importation. Innovations in preservation methods or shifts in health consciousness could potentially impact these forecasts.
