The forecasted revenue for the non-ferrous metal production and processing industry in Canada shows a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 16.452 billion CAD in 2024, it is expected to decline year-on-year by steady, albeit small, percentages, reaching 15.497 billion CAD in 2028. In 2023, the revenue was assessed as higher than the forecasted figures for 2024, indicating a declining interest or demand in this sector. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 implies a gentle downward trajectory, confirming a persistent contraction in the industry's growth over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in sustainable processing technologies that may alter production costs.
Global commodity price fluctuations affecting import and export dynamics in Canada.
Policy changes on environmental impacts potentially impacting operational costs or output.
