The Government of Saskatchewan says figures released by Statistics Canada suggest Saskatchewan’s manufacturing sales rose by 20.6 per cent in March compared to the month prior which places Saskatchewan first among the provinces for month-over-month growth in this category.

In a news release, Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding said,”Manufacturing plays a vital role in our province’s economy.”

Manufacturing sales also saw a year-over-year increase of 18.3 per cent from March 2025 to March 2026, ranking third in terms of percentage change among the provinces.

Manufacturing sales, including shipments, inventories and orders, represent the dollar value of goods sold by manufacturers.
