In 2023, the import of abrasive powder or grain on paper or paperboard support to the US reached 16.74 million kilograms. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 exhibit a marginally decreasing trend, signaling a slight reduction in volume each year. By 2028, the imports are expected to decrease to 16.362 million kilograms. The year-on-year variation suggests a steady decline, albeit minimal, in the volume imported. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period also reflects a similar trend of gradual reduction.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from technological advancements in materials, shifts in manufacturing locations leading to changes in import patterns, and broader economic influences that could affect demand. Monitoring developments in sustainable practices may also influence the import trends of such materials. Economic policies and trade agreements will play a crucial role in shaping these imports.
