In 2023, the import value of manganese to the US was not explicitly provided. From 2024 onwards, the forecast suggests a gradual decline in import value, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 3% to 4% up to 2028. This trend suggests a consistent reduction in manganese imports over the forecast period.
Key trends to watch for in the future include:
- A shift towards domestic manganese production or alternative materials in response to technological advancements.
- Potential economic and regulatory changes impacting US trade could also influence import dynamics.
- Global supply chain disruptions may create volatility in import values.
