Good Morning #Canada
And Happy National Puzzle Day to those who still participate. During COVID, puzzle sales surged 80% year over year, and putting pieces together was a popular pastime during lockdowns. Sales have declined since then, but the Canadian market was still estimated to be worth $60M in 2024, or about $1.50 per person spent on boxes of landscape or animal pieces. And if you have cats, there will always be missing pieces.

I think the most negative aspect of the puzzle boom during COVID is the now impossible task of trying to sell your puzzles in the used market. Everyone, like us, has dozens of puzzles stockpiled in their homes, and the resale value is basically free.
