In 2023, Brazil imported mats of glass fibres amounting to approximately 11.907 million kilograms. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent slight decline in import volume, moving from 11.894 million kilograms in 2024 to 11.844 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year variations show a steady decrease of around 0.1% per year, representing a minimal yet consistent downward trend in imports of this material. Over a five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a very slight negative trend, highlighting the stability in demand with only minimal fluctuations in volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Brazil’s construction and manufacturing sectors, which could influence the demand for glass fibre materials. Additionally, changes in international trade policies and the development of alternative materials may impact import volumes. Sustainability practices and technological advancements might also drive innovation in the production or sourcing strategies, affecting future trends significantly.
