The import of fresh or chilled whole skipjack and stripe-belly bonito to Canada is projected to decline over the next five years. From 2024, with a value of 30.81 thousand USD, imports are expected to fall to 18.63 thousand USD by 2028. The year-on-year decrease starts with approximately 10.2% from 2024 to 2025, followed by similar declines in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates a consistent downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch include changes in Canada's seafood consumption patterns, possible restrictions or regulations affecting imports, and fluctuations in global supply chains that could impact availability and pricing. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally-sourced seafood might further influence these forecasts.
