Per capita pork consumption in Canada - Data and Analysis (0-0)

Over the past decade, per capita pork consumption fell from 23.2 kilograms in 2015 to 19.7 kilograms in 2025. This decline is primarily the result of increased public awareness of the medical risks associated with red meat consumption. Furthermore, the use of corn ethanol has increased the price of animal feed in recent years, causing the prices of many red meat products to increase as well. Pork consumption also decreased significantly during the global financial crisis, when declining income levels and increased consumer uncertainty caused many Canadians to reduce their consumption of relatively expensive groceries, such as pork. In recent years, however, some cuts of pork that are considered relatively lean meats have grown in popularity. IBISWorld expects growth to decline in 2025.
