The forecast for the import of refined soybean oil to Canada indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Values are projected to decrease from 14.0 million kilograms in 2024 to 9.173 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a consistent year-over-year decrease, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years that denotes a steady contraction in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in domestic production strategies and policies in Canada, potentially affecting import needs.
- International price changes and supply chain stability in the soybean oil market.
- Changing consumer preferences towards alternative oils or dietary fats.
- Innovations in oil refining processes that might alter the volume of imports required.
