The employment in the textiles, wearing apparel, and leather products sector in Canada shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 34.47 thousand persons in 2024, it is projected to decrease steadily each year, reaching 31.82 thousand by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change indicates a consistent decline, with each year showing negative growth. Over the five-year period, the sector is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) decline, reflecting ongoing reductions in workforce requirements.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of automation and technology on labor needs, potential shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable products, and international trade policies affecting import-export dynamics which could further influence employment levels in this sector.
