In 2023, the import of margarine to Canada stood at an estimated 1.3 million kilograms. The forecast data indicates a gradual annual decrease in volume from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, the import volume is expected to decline each year, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.3% over the five-year period. This trend suggests a consistent reduction in imports, likely influenced by changing consumer preferences, increased health consciousness, or competitive local production.
Future trends to watch for:
- Shifts in consumer dietary trends towards healthier or alternative fat sources.
- Policy changes affecting import tariffs or regulations could impact future import volumes.
- Advances in local margarine production that might reduce dependency on imports.
