The forecasted import of artificial and prepared waxes of polyethylene glycol to the US shows a steady decline from 10.133 million kilograms in 2024 to 10.05 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where data is not specifically provided but is assumed to be stable, the expected year-on-year decrease is around 0.2% annually. This reflects a gradual reduction, signaling a consistent though minor annual downturn overall.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential shifts in the US manufacturing sector's demand for polyethylene glycol waxes due to technology changes.
- Environmental regulations possibly impacting synthetic wax market preferences.
- Trade policies that might affect international supply chains or import tariffs.
