In 2023, the hydrated lime sold or used for "Other Construction" purposes in the US stood at approximately 2.56 thousand metric tons. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 indicates a significant downward trend, with values decreasing from 2.17 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 0.57 in 2028. This represents a sharp annual decline in demand, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrating a negative average variation over these years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential influences of construction industry shifts towards sustainable materials.
Technological innovations in construction reducing the need for traditional materials like hydrated lime.
Economic factors such as market recovery or downturns that might affect overall construction activity and material demand.
