The statistic shows the total population in Canada from 2020 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, the total population in Canada amounted to about 41.14 million inhabitants. Population of Canada Canada ranks second among the largest countries in the world in terms of area size, right behind Russia, despite having a relatively low total population. The reason for this is that most of Canada remains uninhabited due to inhospitable conditions. Approximately 90 percent of all Canadians live within about 160 km of the U.S. border because of better living conditions and larger cities. On a year to year basis, Canada’s total population has continued to increase, although not dramatically. Population growth as of 2012 has amounted to its highest values in the past decade, reaching a peak in 2009, but was unstable and constantly fluctuating. Simultaneously, Canada’s fertility rate dropped slightly between 2009 and 2011, after experiencing a decade high birth rate in 2008. Standard of living in Canada has remained stable and has kept the country as one of the top 20 countries with the highest Human Development Index rating. The Human Development Index (HDI) measures quality of life based on several indicators, such as life expectancy at birth, literacy rate, education levels and gross national income per capita. Canada has a relatively high life expectancy compared to many other international countries, earning a spot in the top 20 countries and beating out countries such as the United States and the UK. From an economic standpoint, Canada has been slowly recovering from the 2008 financial crisis. Unemployment has gradually decreased, after reaching a decade high in 2009. Additionally, GDP has dramatically increased since 2009 and is expected to continue to increase for the next several years.

Projected population according to various scenarios, age groups and gender, Canada, provinces and territories.

In 2048, the population in Manitoba is projected to reach about 1.84 million people. This is compared to a population of 1.46 million people in 2024.

Synthetic populations of individuals and households at a fine geographical level (DA) for Canada for the years 2021, 2023 and 2030, according to various population growth scenarios. The synthetic populations are based on 2016 census data and population projections for 9 population growth scenarios. Each synthetic population is composed of individuals with detailed socio-demographic attributes, including age, sex, income, education, employment status and geographic locations, related into households.

The national debt of Canada was about 2.53 trillion U.S. dollars in 2024. Between 1980 and 2024, the national debt rose by approximately 2.42 trillion U.S. dollars, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend. The national debt will steadily rise by around 457.05 billion U.S. dollars over the period from 2024 to 2030, reflecting a clear upward trend.

The ratio of national debt to gross domestic product (GDP) of Canada was approximately 110.77 percent in 2024. Between 1980 and 2024, the ratio rose by around 66.18 percentage points, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend. The ratio is forecast to decline by about 6.66 percentage points from 2024 to 2030, fluctuating as it trends downward.The general government gross debt consists of all liabilities that require payment or payments of interest and/or principal by the debtor to the creditor at a date or dates in the future. Here it is depicted in relation to the country's GDP, which refers to the total value of goods and services produced during a year.

In order to anticipate the impact of local public policies, a synthetic population reflecting the characteristics of the local population provides a valuable test bed. While synthetic population datasets are now available for several countries, there is no open-source synthetic population for Canada. We propose an open-source synthetic population of individuals and households at a fine geographical level for Canada for the years 2021, 2023 and 2030. Based on 2016 census data and population projections, the synthetic individuals have detailed socio-demographic attributes, including age, sex, income, education level, employment status and geographic locations, and are related into households. A comparison of the 2021 synthetic population with 2021 census data over various geographical areas validates the reliability of the synthetic dataset. Users can extract populations from the dataset for specific zones, to explore ‘what if’ scenarios on present and future populations. They can extend the dataset using local survey data to add new characteristics to individuals. Users can also run the code to generate populations for years up to 2042.

To capture the full social and economic benefits of AI, new technologies must be sensitive to the diverse needs of the whole population. This means understanding and reflecting the complexity of individual needs, the variety of perceptions, and the constraints that might guide interaction with AI. This challenge is no more relevant than in building AI systems for older populations, where the role, potential, and outstanding challenges are all highly significant.

The RAIM (Responsible Automation for Inclusive Mobility) project will address how on-demand, electric autonomous vehicles (EAVs) might be integrated within public transport systems in the UK and Canada to meet the complex needs of older populations, resulting in improved social, economic, and health outcomes. The research integrates a multidisciplinary methodology - integrating qualitative perspectives and quantitative data analysis into AI-generated population simulations and supply optimisation. Throughout the project, there is a firm commitment to interdisciplinary interaction and learning, with researchers being drawn from urban geography, ageing population health, transport planning and engineering, and artificial intelligence.

The RAIM project will produce a diverse set of outputs that are intended to promote change and discussion in transport policymaking and planning. As a primary goal, the project will simulate and evaluate the feasibility of an on-demand EAV system for older populations. This requires advances around the understanding and prediction of the complex interaction of physical and cognitive constraints, preferences, locations, lifestyles and mobility needs within older populations, which differs significantly from other portions of society. With these patterns of demand captured and modelled, new methods for meeting this demand through optimisation of on-demand EAVs will be required. The project will adopt a forward-looking, interdisciplinary approach to the application of AI within these research domains, including using Deep Learning to model human behaviour, Deep Reinforcement Learning to optimise the supply of EAVs, and generative modelling to estimate population distributions.

A second component of the research involves exploring the potential adoption of on-demand EAVs for ageing populations within two regions of interest. The two areas of interest - Manitoba, Canada, and the West Midlands, UK - are facing the combined challenge of increasing older populations with service issues and reducing patronage on existing services for older travellers. The RAIM project has established partnerships with key local partners, including local transport authorities - Winnipeg Transit in Canada, and Transport for West Midlands in the UK - in addition to local support groups and industry bodies. These partnerships will provide insights and guidance into the feasibility of new AV-based mobility interventions, and a direct route to influencing future transport policy. As part of this work, the project will propose new approaches for assessing the economic case for transport infrastructure investment, by addressing the wider benefits of improved mobility in older populations.

At the heart of the project is a commitment to enhancing collaboration between academic communities in the UK and Canada. RAIM puts in place opportunities for cross-national learning and collaboration between partner organisations, ensuring that the challenges faced in relation to ageing mobility and AI are shared. RAIM furthermore will support the development of a next generation of researchers, through interdisciplinary mentoring, training, and networking opportunities.

The Canada Digital X-Ray Devices Market size was valued at USD 817.82 Million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1380.67 Million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.77% from 2026 to 2032.

Key Market Drivers:

Aging Population and Rising Chronic Disease Burden: The growing aging Canadian population is driving up the need for digital X-ray systems in healthcare facilities. According to Statistics Canada, seniors 65 and over are expected to account for 23% of the Canadian population by 2030, up from 18% in 2020. This demographic shift is particularly significant because older adults need more frequent diagnostic imaging procedures for age-related conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease, hastening the adoption of advanced digital X-ray technologies across the country.

Canada Debit Card Market growth is driven by the increasing middle-class population and growing digital payment adoption in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia.

The statistic shows the gross domestic product (GDP) in Canada from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, the gross domestic product in Canada was around 2.41 trillion U.S. dollars. The economy of Canada Canada is the second biggest country in the world after Russia and the biggest country in North America. Despite its large size, Canada has a relatively small population of just around 35.9 million people. However, the total population in Canada is estimated to grow to around 37.5 million inhabitants in 2020. The standard of living in the country is pretty high, the life expectancy as of 2013 in Canada ranks as one of the highest in the world. In addition, the country ranks number eight on the Human Development Index (HDI) worldwide. All key factors point to a stable and sustainable economy. Not only is Canada’s population increasing, but the economy has been slowly recovering after the global financial crisis in 2008. The unemployment rate in Canada in 2010 was at approximately 8 percent (263696). Today, the unemployment rate in Canada is estimated to be around 6.8 percent, and it is estimated to decrease further. During the financial crisis in 2008, Canada's inflation rate amounted to around 2.4 percent. By 2013, the inflation rate was at less than 1 percent in comparison to the previous year. Canada is considered to be one of the world’s wealthiest countries. By value of private financial wealth, Canada ranked seventh along with Italy. In addition, its gross domestic product per capita in 2014 was among the largest in the world and during the same year, its gross domestic product increased by over 2.5 percent in comparison to the previous year. Canada’s economic growth has been a result of its political stability and economic reforms following the global financial crisis. In the period between 2009 and 2010, Canada was among the leading countries with the highest political stability in the world.

The Canada joint replacement market is anticipated to add more than USD 238.11 million between 2025 and 2030, supported by an aging population and rising arthritis cases.

Canada’s nursing care facilities have been defined by a sustained surge in demand, driven by the country’s aging population. Seniors now account for nearly one in five Canadians and almost half of all provincial health spending, placing considerable pressure to expand long-term care facilities. Longer life expectancies, alongside the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions that come with age, have prompted an expansion of new beds across the country. With government at the federal and provincial levels steadily increasing funding for nursing care, industry revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 2.6% to reach $10.6 billion in 2025, with revenue growing 2.8% in 2025 alone. The steady increase in government spending on expanding nursing care has been most prevalent in Ontario, where provincial authorities have committed $6.4 billion to build and upgrade 58,000 beds by 2028. Ontario has prioritized large-scale investment, channelling a significant share of public funds to for-profit chains. Initiatives like this have prompted significant consolidation across the industry, as large operators have leveraged public funding to acquire assets, expand their geographic reach and streamline operations. The economies of scale achieved by for-profit chains via consolidation have prompted a rise in profitability across the industry, with profit forecast to reach 12.2% of revenue in 2025. Looking ahead, the continued aging of the population will drive a persistent need for long-term care, worsening the labour shortages already faced by the industry. The Canadian government will remain a major driver of long-term care expansion through multi-year investments, including initiatives to stem the workforce gap. The federal government has already responded with targeted investments, including programs to help internationally educated health professionals enter the workforce. In the coming years, technology adoption is poised to become increasingly central to helping facilities bridge gaps in staff capacity. Given ongoing demographic shifts, the industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 2.8%, reaching $12.2 billion by 2030.

Medical instrument and supply manufacturers produce various nonelectric medical, dental and veterinary products for personal and professional use. The industry's broad range of medically necessary products largely shields revenue from sharp fluctuations based on changes in specific downstream market conditions. However, import pressure is an omnipresent threat that has encouraged manufacturers to embrace product innovation over standardized manufacturing. Despite these pressures, revenue for medical instrument and supply manufacturers is expected to swell at a CAGR of 3.7% to $7.0 billion through the end of 2024, including growth of 2.6% in 2024. Several large demographic and economic factors contribute to the demand for medical instruments. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, Canadians aged 65 and older spend significantly more per capita on healthcare than all younger demographics combined. The Canadian population aged 65 and older is growing faster than the general population, boosting overall demand for healthcare services and, in turn, medical instruments and supplies. However, the role of export markets is just as important to the industry. Exports to the United States are expected to account for more than 80.0% of all exports, so changes in US healthcare activity and currency valuations can substantially influence the industry. Recent fluctuations in export volumes since the pandemic have ultimately driven a drop in profitability across the industry. The aging Canadian population, rising healthcare expenditure and more resources dedicated to research and development will bolster revenue in the coming years. Companies will continue investing heavily in research and development to chase new niches in the expanding market while truncating foreign competition. However, import competition will remain high and efforts to promote research and development will raise costs for manufacturers, limiting the overall expansion of profit. As downstream demand climbs domestically and from crucial markets in the United States, industry revenue is expected to gain at a CAGR of 2.7% to $8.0 billion through the end of 2029.

Printing, paper, food, textile and other machinery manufacturers are critical in supplying equipment to Canada's broader manufacturing sector. Healthy economic and population growth have led to the country's manufacturing sector flourishing in recent years, benefiting machinery manufacturers. The pandemic, as well as more recent geopolitical tensions and global conflicts, posed a significant challenge for manufacturers, as disruptions to nearly every downstream market introduced unprecedented volatility. End-market diversification mitigated the overall impact on revenue; however, some manufacturing companies were still affected more severely than others, depending on their level of specialization. As manufacturing and industrial capacity recovered in 2021, supply chain disruptions and workforce shortages limited growth for machinery manufacturers. Manufacturers struggled to source critical inputs even at premium prices, while workforce shortages left companies with long lead times and depressed profit. However, more recently, growth has expanded, a result of reduced interest rates and stable supply chains, which have helped create favorable economic conditions for downstream manufacturers to purchase machinery. Revenue is expected to increase at a five-year CAGR of 6.7% reaching $6.5 billion through the end of 2025, with an expected growth rate of 1.4% in 2025. More than three years after the pandemic, machinery manufacturers continued to face supply chain snags and bottlenecks that impact their production. This, combined with more recent geopolitical tensions and global conflicts, has created issues that prevent manufacturers from properly sourcing critical inputs, leaving them unable to fulfill orders and putting current revenue and future growth at risk. While no single solution exists to resolve supply chain disruptions, some manufacturers are responding by deploying technology to manage costs or reconfiguring their supply chains to feature more local suppliers. This, along with ongoing negotiations, is helping mitigate the effects of these supply chain disruptions. Supply chain stability is expected to help reduce the recent profit volatility experienced from 2020 through 2025, with profit expected to remain stable at around 5.7%. The population and economic growth in Canada are projected to continue, translating into a higher volume of industrial and manufacturing activities that benefit machinery manufacturers. Still, the industry's growth trajectory will depend on how manufacturers react to these projections. However, reduced interest rates and a depreciating loonie will create an environment where Canadian exports will become comparatively less expensive overseas. Conversely, imports will become more expensive, favoring the purchase of Canadian machinery. Revenue is expected to grow at a five-year CAGR of 1.5% reaching $7.0 billion through the end of 2030.

The Canada Respiratory Devices Market size was valued at USD 1.1 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 1.7 Billion by 2031 growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2031.

Key Market Drivers:

Rising Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases: The Canadian respiratory devices market is expanding rapidly due to the rising prevalence of respiratory illnesses. With about 3.8 million Canadians (10.2%) suffering from asthma and more than 2 million suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the demand for improved respiratory equipment is growing rapidly.

Aging Population and Chronic Respiratory Conditions: The demographic shift in Canada is a key driver of the respiratory devices market. Statistics Canada predicts that by 2030, roughly 23% of the population would be 65 or older, greatly increasing the prevalence of age-related respiratory problems.

Major provinces—especially Ontario, Québec, and Alberta—dominate the aftermarket. These regions host the bulk of Canada’s population, vehicle registrations, and service infrastructures (repair shops, jobbers, tire chains, etc.). Ontario, in particular, leads due to its dense urban centers, extensive vehicle parc, and cold‑weather seasonality boosting demand; Québec follows with similar climate‑driven tire and maintenance patterns. Alberta contributes strongly via robust light‑duty vehicle ownership and service networks tied to its broader economic base. The Canadian automotive aftermarket is valued at USD 17.3 billion, based on current industry data, and is driven by a historically steady vehicle population, aging out‑of‑warranty vehicles requiring replacement parts and services, and ongoing consumer demand across maintenance, repair, and accessory domains. Additionally, aftermarket revenues benefited in the most recent year from increased spending on seasonal components like tires and batteries. For comparison, in the latest available data, this market climbed to around USD 14.8 billion, reflecting methodological differences among sources; both figures affirm a multi‑billion‑dollar scale driven by VIO and aging vehicles.
