The import of frozen whole sardines, brisling, and sprats to Canada is projected to show a decreasing trend from 609.9 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 477.99 thousand kilograms by 2028. Compared to the 2023 level, there is a consistent decline year-on-year, with the most significant reduction expected in the subsequent years. This pattern indicates a clear downward spiral with an explicit reduction in import volume over the forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood options.
Possible changes in trade policies or import regulations impacting the seafood market.
Environmental factors or sustainability issues affecting sardine production globally.
The role of technological advancements in improving local aquaculture output.
