The forecast for 2024 is set at approximately 2.5 million USD, with a gradual decline every subsequent year, reaching about 1.9 million USD by 2028. Notably, the data suggests a continued decrease in graphite imports, primarily driven by shifts in market demand and possibly technological advancements or substitute materials impacting utilization. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates a negative trend for the years 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Emerging technologies that might reduce the reliance on natural graphite.
- Developments in domestic production capabilities.
- Potential trade policies or tariff changes affecting import dynamics.
- Global demand fluctuations impacting import prices and availability.
