Engine & Turbine Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

During the current period, Canadian engine and turbine manufacturers have seen increasing revenue while facing significant challenges from at home and abroad. One of the primary obstacles has been the high level of import penetration, with a substantial portion of domestic demand being satisfied by foreign-made products, particularly in the engine segment for trucks and equipment. This competition has hurt revenues and led to a reduction in domestic establishments as companies move production abroad. However, the robust performance of Canada's industrial sector has fueled demand for engines and turbines, as heightened industrial activity and capacity utilization rates drive investments in upgrades and replacements. Manufacturers have responded by increasing production and expanding offerings to capitalize on industrial growth opportunities. Overall, engine and manufacturing revenue has increased at a CAGR of 5.6% to an expected $1.8 billion after growing 3.1% in 2025.

Trends and Insights

  • The Canadian engine and turbine industry is struggling with high import competition, which has tempered revenue gains. Domestic manufacturers are losing market share to cheaper international competitors.
  • The US's 25% tariff on Canadian engine exports stands to potentially erode competitiveness in this critical market. Canadian manufacturers may face declining export revenues and lost market share.
  • Ontario and Quebec house the majority of engine and turbine manufacturing establishments, reflecting their large populations and manufacturing sectors. This distribution aligns with workforce availability and infrastructure.
  • The Canadian engine and turbine industry has low market concentration due to the wide range of products and specialization within segments. This diversity allows smaller players to thrive by catering to niche markets.

Trends and Insights

Canada’s construction industry is set for sustained growth through 2030, supporting robust demand for engines and turbines

  • Canada’s construction and housing markets are poised for modest growth in the outlook period, underpinned by declining interest rates and recent changes to mortgage qualification rules. The Bank of Canada’s policy rate cuts have begun to ease borrowing costs, making mortgages and construction loans more accessible for both homebuyers and developers. According to the 2025 CMHC Housing Market Outlook, this environment is unlocking pent-up demand from buyers who were previously sidelined by high borrowing costs.
