The forecast for the import of refractory cements, mortars, and concretes, excluding graphite, to the US shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual import value stood at a lower level, marking 2024 as the starting point of expected growth. The year-on-year percentage variation indicates a consistent increase of approximately 3-4% annually. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years is predicted to reflect a stable annual average increase.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in US infrastructure and construction demands that could affect import quantities.
Technological advancements in refractory materials and competitive product innovation.
Global supply chain or trade policy shifts impacting import dynamics.
