The forecasted values for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady upward trend, increasing from 19.356 million in 2024 to 20.023 million in 2028. Year-on-year variations show consistent annual growth, although the increase is modest; for instance, 2025 sees a 0.89% rise over 2024, and 2026 a 0.86% increase over 2025. The CAGR for the forecast period (2024 to 2028) stands at approximately 0.86%, signifying steady growth over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions in supply chains, environmental regulations affecting extraction and import, and technological advancements in material science that could impact demand. Additionally, economic factors such as exchange rates and trade policies should be monitored as they could influence the import value significantly.
