The import of nitrates of metals (excluding potassium and bismuth) to the United States has been on an upward trajectory. In 2023, the import volume stood at approximately 89 million kilograms. By 2028, it is projected to increase to 95.729 million kilograms, showing steady growth. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 ranges from 1.59% to 1.80%, reflecting consistent demand. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 1.60%.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of environmental regulations on nitrate imports and use.
Technological advancements in metal processing potentially affecting nitrate demand.
Global supply chain dynamics, particularly from key nitrate-producing countries.
