In 2023, the volume of lead recovered in antimonial lead in the US stood at 245.29 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady increase, with volumes rising gradually from 246.21 to 249.99 thousand metric tons. Year-over-year growth is modest, averaging 0.78% across the five-year projection. This reflects a consistent, albeit slow, upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in lead recovery and recycling processes, which could boost efficiency and output. Additionally, regulatory changes or fluctuations in demand for lead-acid batteries could significantly impact volumes in either direction.
