The consumption of fresh cucumbers in Canada is projected to increase steadily from 93.46 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 95.66 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a modest but consistent annual growth trend. Compared to the previous year, 2024 shows no initial year-over-year variation, but from 2025 onward, the consumption grows by 0.61% annually on average. Over the five-year forecast period, this reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of around 0.58%.
Future trends to watch for include the growing consumer preference for fresh and healthy food options, the potential impact of climate change on cucumber production, and the influence of international trade policies on import levels. Additionally, shifts in dietary habits toward plant-based foods may further drive demand.
