Where does this information come from?
The information displayed in this table is extracted from the Trade Opportunities Matrix (TOM), an EDC tool used to rank opportunities based on a range of economic, financial and industry-specific criteria. It is important keep in mind that the TOM rankings refer to potential export opportunities, which may not reflect actual Canadian exports. - TOM is an empirically-based tool that provides an objective and forward-looking analysis of the most attractive markets for Canadian exporters.
- Using up-to-date economic and financial criteria, TOM ranks Canadian export opportunities in 44 industries, across 69 countries.
- TOM provides an objective starting point for export market research, which can be used to complement in-depth industry analysis and sector-specific knowledge.
Please refer to the TOM background paper for additional details.
