In 2023, the import value of used postage and revenue stamps, including first day covers to China, was $7.23 million USD. In the following years, the forecasted values show a steady annual increase. From 2024 to 2028, the imports are expected to rise from $7.39 million to $8.05 million USD, reflecting a year-on-year growth ranging around 2-3%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be approximately 2.15%.
Future trends to watch for include the influence of digital communication reducing physical stamp use, collector market dynamics, and any changes in trade policies impacting import levels. Additionally, market interest in philatelic items as collectibles could drive further variations in import values.
