The forecast for the import of sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons to the US indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.6824 million kilograms and reducing to 1.4214 million kilograms. The import figure for 2023 was marginally higher than 2024, around 1.71 million kilograms, showing a downward trend. The year-on-year percentage change highlights a gradual decrease, approximately a 3-4% reduction annually.
Key future trends to monitor include the advancement in domestic production capabilities of these derivatives, which may further dampen imports. Additionally, regulatory shifts affecting chemical compounds could also influence future demand and import volumes.
