In 2023, the import of adipic acid to the US stood at 19.5 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline in import volume, starting from 18.868 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing annually to 16.288 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 3-4%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is estimated at around -3.5%. This declining trend suggests a consistent reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities, changes in global supply chain dynamics, and evolving demand within key adipic acid-consuming industries such as textiles, automotive, and plastics, which may affect import levels.
