In 2023, Canada imported automatic washing machines of a dry capacity not exceeding 10 kg valued at approximately US$63 million. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline in imports, starting at US$61.809 million in 2024 and decreasing to US$52.88 million by 2028. This trend suggests an average annual reduction of around 3.7% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of technological advancements in washing machines, which could either reduce demand for new imports or drive a shift toward higher-capacity or feature-rich models.
- Changes in consumer preference towards more energy-efficient and eco-friendly appliances, possibly affecting market dynamics.
- Trade policy and tariffs that might influence the import market in Canada.
