The forecast for the import of live swine, excluding pure-bred breeding weighing 50 kg or more, into the U.S. shows a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import value stood at a higher level, before the projection indicates a downward path. The year-on-year percentage change illustrates a consistent decline across the period, with the import value dropping from $86.974 million in 2024 to $61.927 million in 2028. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years suggests a negative growth trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in trade policies, economic conditions affecting demand, advancements in domestic swine production capabilities, and shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources, which may influence import levels.
