The forecast for hydrated lime used for soil stabilization in construction in the US shows a slight decline from 2024 to 2028. The metric stood at 432.45 thousand metric tons in 2024. The year-on-year decrease is subtle, with the percentage change showing a downward trend over the periods: -0.32% for 2025, -0.31% for 2026, -0.31% for 2027, and -0.30% for 2028.
