Canada’s culture-and-sport trade deficit widened to $11.2 billion in 2024
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Canada’s exports of culture and sport products rose 3.3% to $28.4 billion in 2024, while imports rose 5.4% to $39.6 billion, Statistics Canada reports. The resulting trade deficit widened to $11.2 billion. The United States accounted for 62.9% of exports and 57.8% of imports; the values are nominal and incorporate revisions extending back to 2022.
Why it matters
Import growth outpaced export growth even as Canadian productions recovered from disruption linked to the 2023 U.S. writers’ strike.
