In 2023, the manganese content consumption in the US was approximately 583.7 thousand metric tons. From 2024 onwards, the forecast indicates a gradual decline in consumption with values of 572.49, 561.23, 550.18, 539.36, and 528.75 thousand metric tons for each subsequent year through 2028. The year-on-year percentage declines stand at 1.96% from 2024 to 2025, 1.97% from 2025 to 2026, 1.97% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.98% from 2027 to 2028, averaging an annual compound decrease of approximately 1.98% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in manganese recycling, shifts in US industrial or manufacturing processes that require manganese, and potential changes in import tariffs or trade policies affecting manganese imports which might impact the consumption trajectory.
