The commodity supercycle is over and demand from the U.S. is strengthening. This global environment represents a big change for Canadian exporters. Can they simply re-orient themselves to take advantage of U.S. demand? Canada’s Next Trade Era uses a benchmarking methodology to identify which out of 38 Canadian industries are likely to see strong demand in this next trade era and which industries have the capacity to increase production. Using measures of competitiveness to identify the industries that are most likely to succeed, the research finds that 11 industries (mostly services and resources) are well-prepared, while 9 manufacturing industries will face capacity constraints.
