The forecasted import of unwrought zinc alloys to the US shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values reducing annually from $12.128 million in 2024 to $9.332 million in 2028. Compared to 2023, which had an import value of $13.0 million, the year-on-year decrease for 2024 is notable at approximately 6.7%. This downtrend continues with approximately 5.9% in 2025, 6.2% in 2026, 6.5% in 2027, and 6.8% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is projected to be negative, showing an average yearly decrease of approximately 6.4%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of global trade policies, technological advancements in recycling, and domestic production of zinc alloys which could further influence import levels. Additionally, shifts in demand from key industries such as automotive and construction may also play a vital role in shaping these forecasts.
