Travel agencies have struggled due to COVID-19, and the rise of internet travel booking has interfered with the core services of travel agencies. Online travel agents now play a larger role alongside traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. Most agencies suffered in 2020 as governments imposed restrictions on travel, leading revenue to fall at a CAGR of 7.7% to $1.9 billion through the end of 2023, including a 11.5% increase in 2023 alone.
This has led to an unprecedented level of cancellations. Despite the economy showing signs of recovery in 2021, the overall travelling industry continued to endure difficulties. While many countries continued vaccinating... Learn More

Canadian tour operators have been extremely volatile in recent years. With the domestic economy's expansions prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, international trips taken by Canadians increased. Greater international exposure for the Canadian tourism industry, coupled with overall global economic growth, motivated more foreigners to visit and book tours in Canada, leading to increased inbound international travel. The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the global tourism sector, with countries closing borders, government authorities keeping only essential businesses open and strict travel restrictions being put in place. Many travellers cancelled their trips while people that were planning trips ended up delaying them indefinitely, decimating... Learn More

Canadian airlines performed well prior to the COVID-19 pandemic as rising levels of disposable income enabled more consumers to purchase airline tickets, while a relatively weak Canadian dollar has encouraged inbound travel from foreign consumers visiting Canada. The pandemic caused many airlines to suspend international service, while governments imposed social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of coronavirus, severely constraining industry revenue in 2020 and 2021, which went below one-third of 2019 levels. Airlines have bounced back strongly from the pandemic as a vaccine enabled the travel to begin to normalize, a process that will continue in the coming years.... Learn More

An expanding economy has moderated revenue declines in the car wash industry over the five years to 2023. Businesses have benefited from higher disposable income and increased vehicle registration, which has supported demand for industry services. However, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic led to a considerable drop in industry performance in 2020 as less travel translated to lower need for industry-relevant services. Recovery following these disruptions has been bogged down by rising consumer prices, which has decreased inflation-adjusted industry revenue. Car wash and auto detailing revenue has been decreasing at a CAGR of 2.1% over the past five years, and is... Learn More

Products with higher profit, such as coffee and smoothies, have become more prominent at traditional fast-food restaurants. Furthermore, meal customization and high-quality ingredients have become increasingly popular in recent years, inducing major players in the industry to reconsider their overall strategy and menu offerings. Altogether, industry revenue is expected to rise at an annualized rate of 1.5% to $34.8 billion over the... Learn More

Market research operators in Canada endured wild swings in revenue growth due to a sharp incline in economic volatility and dampened demand for market research services. Between 2018 and 2019, operators endured a decline amid mixed economic conditions and a changing media landscape. In 2020, COVID-19 presented an additional disruption to demand for operators' services, as uncertainty clouded the outlook. Although the economy reopened, a spike in inflationary pressures severely harmed revenue in 2021 and 2023, as corporate clients endured volatility across their balance sheets, which dampened demand for operators' services. This economic volatility also dampened profit for operators, with... Learn More

The Boat Building industry in Canada has exhibited a moderate level of revenue volatility over the past five years. As the Canadian dollar weakened, the industry grew as improving economic conditions domestically and in the United States raised demand for industry vessels. The pandemic fostered strong boat sales as rising household incomes and wealth in addition to affordable borrowing conditions, drove demand for industry output. Recreational boating activity also rose in popularity, benefiting operators. Over the past five years, revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 5.5% and is expected to reach $762.5 million in 2023. This includes an... Learn More

Despite experiencing intensifying competition from online ophthalmological goods retailers, Canadian optometrists have grown in recent years. Demand has been driven by a burgeoning elderly population and increased awareness of the importance of eye health. Increased advertising has benefited optometry practices as several provincial organizations implemented advertising campaigns to raise public awareness of the potential hazards of purchasing online eyewear products. One potential hazard is the product's incorrect prescription, which could negatively affect eyesight.
In addition to a changing competitive landscape, optometrists have had to adapt to a new regulatory environment. For example, in British Columbia, the deregulation of prescription eyewear permitted... Learn More

Canadian semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturers produce various input devices for circuits and memory chips. In recent years, manufacturers experienced mild volatility amid continued offshoring and greater competition from US and East Asian manufacturers. Any expansion has been driven by robust demand for domestically and abroad semiconductor products, and a global shortage for electronic components. COVID-19 has diminished manufacturers' performance by disrupting production plans and creating supply chain challenges. Industry-wide revenue is expected to rise at a CAGR of 0.3% to $5.4 billion over the five years to 2023, when revenue is forecast to jump 6.4% as high prices... Learn More
