Year-over-year growth ranks third among the provinces.

Today, Statistics Canada’s latest economic reports indicate the province’s manufacturing sales increased by 27.6 per cent in June 2026 compared to June 2025. Wholesale trade grew by 18.2 per cent in June 2026 compared to June 2025.

“Saskatchewan is building, selling and delivering,” Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding said. “When manufacturing and wholesale trade grow, that activity ripples throughout the provincial economy. It supports jobs, helps businesses expand, strengthens local supply chains and creates new opportunities in communities across Saskatchewan.”

In June 2026, the value of manufacturing sales reached $2.2 billion, while wholesale trade totaled $4.2 billion.

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

Wholesale trade is a measure of the value of goods purchased in large quantities with the intention of being sold to resellers, but not to final consumers. These numbers exclude petroleum, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons and exclude oilseed and grain.

Statistics Canada’s latest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers indicate that Saskatchewan’s 2025 real GDP reached an all-time high of $85.4 billion. This was an increase of 2.2 per cent, putting the province well above the national average of 1.7 per cent. 

Private capital investment in Saskatchewan increased last year by 12 per cent to $13.6 billion, ranking first among provinces. Efforts behind the province’s Securing the Next Decade of Growth: Saskatchewan’s Investment Attraction Strategy are driving that momentum.
