Wiring Device Manufacturing in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Wired up: Growth in downstream construction markets is expected to improve product demand domestically

Strong import penetration has created a ceiling for the Wiring Device Manufacturing industry in Canada, while domestic demand has fluctuated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Foreign competition from less-expensive products has hurt the viability of domestically-manufactured products, while a strong Canadian dollar has hurt exports abroad. The pandemic has created a further seesaw in downstream markets, as residential construction demand was counteracted by a decline in commercial construction. Despite growth in 2020 and 2021, industry revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 6.6% over the past five years, and is expected to total $888.9 million in 2023. This includes a 1.7% rise in the current year.
