The forecast for beef and veal consumption per capita in Canada from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. In 2023, the actual consumption level served as the baseline for these forecasts. Starting from 18.18 kilograms per capita in 2024, it slightly decreases each year to reach 18.09 kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a minor decrease, signifying a trend of declining consumption at a modest annual average rate over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of changing dietary preferences, such as a shift towards plant-based diets, and economic factors that could influence meat prices. Monitoring consumer preferences and regulatory changes related to the beef industry will be crucial in understanding long-term consumption patterns.
