The forecasted imports of prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, and blood to Canada indicate a gradual increase from 909.21 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 996.82 thousand kilograms in 2028. As we move through the forecast period, the projected year-on-year increases are modest, averaging around a 2.3% increase annually. This steady growth signifies a strengthening demand for these products in the Canadian market.
In 2023, the import volume stood at 889.00 thousand kilograms, having increased from previous years, setting a trend that is likely to continue through 2028.
Future trends to monitor include potential changes in trade policies, shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based alternatives, and impacts from economic factors such as changes in disposable income and inflation. These could significantly influence the import volumes of meat products to Canada.
