The forecast for the import of salted, dried, or smoked swine meat to the US shows a gradual decline in volume from 2024 to 2028, starting from 7.9171 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing yearly to 7.7843 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at approximately a similar level to 2024's estimate, indicating stability prior to the projected downtrend. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 is negative, suggesting a slow but steady decline. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is negative, representing a small yet consistent decrease in import volume.
Future trends to watch include potential policy changes impacting trade agreements, fluctuations in domestic demand for swine meat products, and shifts in consumer preferences towards other protein sources. Additionally, global supply chain disruptions or advancements in alternative protein technologies could further influence these forecasted trends.
