The forecast for crude gypsum imports in the US from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline from 3.1 million metric tons in 2024 to 2.51 million metric tons by 2028. This represents a noticeable year-on-year decline, with the most significant annual decrease not exceeding 5.6%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, reflecting the consistent decrease in imports. As of 2023, the imports stood at 3.2 million metric tons, suggesting a downturn trend commencing from this point.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in construction industry demands, changes in domestic gypsum production capacity, and global trade policies affecting import tariffs and supply chains. Additionally, sustainability and environmental regulations might influence gypsum sourcing strategies.
