Starting at 844.98 thousand US dollars in 2024, it decreases to 809.3 thousand US dollars by 2028, representing an average annual decline.

Potential market disruptions due to geopolitical events or trade policy changes that could affect import volumes and values.
Technological advancements in copper extraction and recycling that might alter import needs.
Economic factors influencing the broader commodity market that could impact prices and supply chains.
