In 2023, Canada's fish body oil export volume stood at an estimated level slightly above 2.5 thousand metric tons. From 2024, forecasts predict a gradual decline in export volumes, decreasing from 2.5 thousand metric tons to 2.4 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a consistent annual decline of about 1% over the five-year period, suggesting a trend of diminishing export volumes.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential changes in global demand for fish oil due to shifts in dietary trends.
- Regulatory changes impacting fisheries and export capabilities.
- Innovations in aquaculture that may alter production levels.
- Environmental factors and sustainability practices influencing fish populations.
