In 2023, Canada imported around 4.891 million kilograms of sodium metasilicates. The forecast data indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, with a year-on-year decrease of 1.04% to 1.05%. This suggests a moderately declining trend at an average rate of approximately 1.02% per annum over this five-year period, reflecting possible changes in demand or market dynamics.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in industrial demand for sodium metasilicates, possibly due to increasing environmental regulations or changes in manufacturing processes.
The impact of trade policies or agreements that could affect import volumes.
Emerging alternatives or substitutes that could influence the market.
