  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CA2023-0048
Canada continues to be the largest export market for U.S. consumer-oriented products. In 2022, U.S. consumer-oriented exports to Canada reached $19.9 billion, representing 24 percent of the total value of U.S. consumer-oriented exports worldwide. As a mature market, Canada offers sophisticated distribution chains, warehousing options, and a logistics network for U.S. companies, ensuring shipments arrive efficiently. In 2022, food service sales grew to $76.6 billion. Canada's food service sector is competitive but does offer great opportunity for exporting food suppliers that commit to developing the market.
