In 2023, the import of flat plate, sheet, and strip of copper-tin alloy to the US was at 64.81 thousand kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a declining trend, with an average year-on-year decrease of approximately 6.5%. Specifically, the CAGR over these years is approximately -6.4%, suggesting a steady decline in imports. The decrease each year could indicate reduced demand or increased self-sufficiency in production.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in the US manufacturing sector that may reduce dependency on imported copper-tin alloys.
- Global price changes of alloy components, affecting overall imports.
- Potential policy changes impacting trade and tariffs on metal imports.
