In 2023, the import volume of transfers (decalcomanias) except vitrifiable to the US stood at approximately 1.835 million kilograms. The forecasted data shows a gradual decline in import volumes from 2024 to 2028, with figures decreasing from 1.7505 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.5887 million kilograms in 2028. This denotes a consistent year-on-year reduction, with an average annual contraction of around 2.51% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028. Such trends suggest a diminishing demand or a potential shift in sourcing strategies by US-based importers.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts towards digital and eco-friendlier alternatives impacting demand.
- Trade policies and regulations affecting cross-border trade costs and volumes.
- Technological advancements in decalcomania manufacturing could alter production capabilities and sourcing preferences.
- Changes in consumer preferences that could impact product design and utilization needs.
