In 2023, Canada's domestic consumption of cherries stood at approximately 36.95 thousand metric tons. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a very marginal upward trend, reaching 37.03 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a slight year-on-year increase, averaging a negligible compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years. Specifically, each year only sees around a 0.05% increase, showcasing a stability in consumption levels.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumption patterns driven by changes in dietary preferences, health trends favoring natural and organic fruits, and economic factors that could impact consumer purchasing power and access to imported cherries.
