The import of floor coverings of coconut fibres (coir) to the US is projected to gradually decline from $19.211 million in 2024 to $18.704 million by 2028. Compared to the actual value in 2023, the imports were higher in 2024 but are forecasted to decrease year-on-year. The average year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 indicates a slight contraction each year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five years shows a modest negative trend, indicating declining interest or supply challenges in coir products.
Trends to watch for in the future include:
- Consumer preference shifts towards sustainable materials, which may impact coir demand positively or negatively.
- The global supply chain and trade agreements can influence import figures significantly.
- Economic conditions and pricing competitiveness with alternative materials.
