The Cannabis Production industry in Canada has blossomed over the five years to 2019 as a massive market was introduced into the industry, driving up revenue late during the period. Since Health Canada opened up medicinal cannabis production to more players in 2013, the industry has grown continuously as operators invest in production capabilities to produce quality products. However, the legalization of recreational cannabis in 2018 has been the primary driver of the industry boom during the period. As consumers shifted from illegal cannabis purchases to the licensed recreational market, the industry grew significantly and is expected to grow 68.3%... Learn More
2018-2019 Revenue Growth: 16.5%
The Telecommunications Networking Equipment Manufacturing industry in Canada is a mere fragment of what it was in 2000, but the industry has expanded over the five years to 2019. This historical decay is primarily the result of competition from foreign companies that have more efficient cost structures and lower manufacturing costs alongside the technological displacement of many fixed telecom products. Nonetheless, starting from a low point in 2013, the industry has recovered to an extent. This recovery was founded on improving supply chains and a dependence on contract manufacturing services to more effectively spread risk while cutting costs. It is also... Learn More

The E-commerce and Online Auctions industry in Canada composes of retailers that primarily sell their products online. Accelerated by the rising number of internet connections, industry revenue is expected to post strong gains, increasing at an annualized rate of 12.8% to $10.2 billion over the five years to 2019. Revenue is forecast to rise 5.0% in 2019 alone as more Canadians, persuaded by increasingly easy-to-use and secure websites, shift their shopping online. The exceptional rate of growth in this industry is aided in part by the increasing internet traffic volume (e.g. number of fixed broadband and mobile connections), disposable income... Learn More
2018-2019 Revenue Growth: 12.2%
The Foreign Currency Exchange Services industry in Canada is expected to flourish over the five years to 2019, as operators expand their service offerings and favourable economic trends boost demand. Pressure from external competition by banks offering foreign exchange services has held back the industry’s expansion significantly. However, more operators are offering services to financial institutions by participating in the supply chain of foreign exchange, supplying banks with banknotes in wholesale or providing the service directly as an outsourced agent. Alongside favourable economic trends and the proliferation of online services, operators have expanded the demand pool by extending the reach... Learn More

Operators in the Coffee and Tea Production industry in Canada primarily roast and package imported coffee beans in addition to blend and package tea. Over the five years to 2019, industry revenue growth has been strong, despite a severe fluctuation in the world price of coffee, which rose 43.8% and declined 20.9% the following year, during the very beginning of the reporting period. Since then, the world price of coffee has remained relatively stable, allowing for strong revenue growth in the industry especially as consumers have valued coffee and tea products with high quality and consistency. As a result, the industry... Learn More

Over the five years to 2018, Canada's Train, Subway and Transit Car Manufacturing industry is expected to experience significant volatility, which has largely been driven by cyclical purchases of industry goods and sharp declines in commodity prices. Ultimately, the industry expanded during the five-year period, despite diminishing exports due to a regulatory landscape that instigated a litany of capital expenditures. As a result, industry revenue is anticipated to rise an annualized 10.1% over the five years to 2018 to $2.3 billion, with a 17.8% increase in 2018 alone.
Industry performance depends on the ability of manufacturers to earn production contracts. Domestic... Learn More

The Cosmetic and Beauty Product Manufacturing industry in Canada has experienced strong growth over the five years to 2019 by manufacturing widely accepted and necessary personal care products, such as shampoo and lotions. Revenue growth is determined by demand from wholesalers and retailers, which is ultimately driven by consumer spending, tastes and preferences. In recent years, rising levels of disposable income have encouraged consumers to increasingly purchase the industry's high-end luxury products. As a result, industry revenue is estimated to increase at an annualized rate of 9.5% to $3.8 billion over the five years to 2019, including projected growth of... Learn More
2018-2019 Revenue Growth: 10.7%
The Men's and Boys' Apparel Manufacturing industry in Canada has been characterized by offshoring, import competition and a significant shift toward the production of high-end products over the five years to 2019. The industry, which manufactures men's and boys' apparel from purchased fabrics, has been challenged by high import penetration. However, operators that have shifted toward producing high-end, value-added designer and handcrafted fashion have managed to boost the industry. Consequently, over the five years to 2019, industry revenue is expected to rise an annualized 9.4% to $1.2 billion, including a 0.8% decline in 2019 alone.
In 2019, industry imports are expected... Learn More

The Concrete Pipe and Block Manufacturing industry in Canada is expected to grow significantly over the five years to 2018. Demand has slowed in recent years as the volatile growth in the nonresidential construction market offset the growth in government expenditure and the residential market. Outlined in the Government of Canada's Budget 2018, new construction projects are expected to be in effect, mostly taking place in Ontario, as it represents the largest share of population and industry establishments. Increased government expenditure has translated to increased spending on concrete-intensive projects, such as bridge building and highway construction. Overall, revenue is expected... Learn More

The Heating and Air-Conditioning Equipment Manufacturing industry in Canada manufactures heating equipment, commercial refrigeration equipment, air conditioners, commercial and industrial fans, blowers, air purification equipment and electric and nonelectric heating and refrigeration equipment. Collectively, these goods are known as heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment. Over the five years to 2019, downstream growth from the Canadian residential market, rising exports and new energy-efficient standards benefited industry operators. As a result, industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 8.4% to $4.7 billion over the five years to 2019, which includes growth of 1.8% in 2019 alone.... Learn More
