Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, shellfish imports in Canada are expected to steadily increase from 87.39 to 90.2 thousand metric tons. This represents a modest year-on-year growth, indicating a stable demand in the Canadian market. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years suggests incremental expansion in shellfish import volumes as part of Canada's consumer seafood preference. Unfortunately, due to the lack of data from 2023, the historical context and the basis for this growth beginning 2024 remain speculative.
Future trends to watch for include a potential increase in demand driven by shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier food options, government trade policies, and global environmental factors affecting shellfish supply. Monitoring these parameters could provide insights into the sustainability of such growth in the coming years.
