In 2023, Canada's apple import volume stood at approximately 414 thousand metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 through 2028 show modest growth: from 415 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 417 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year changes reveal a stable pattern, with roughly a 0.24% increase expected in both 2026 and 2027, followed by no change in 2028. The five-year CAGR remains minimal, indicating consistent, though slight, growth in apple imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global trade dynamics, changing consumer preferences towards locally sourced produce, and any policy shifts affecting import tariffs or trade agreements. These factors could influence import volumes significantly.
