In 2023, the import of filament tow of acrylic or modacrylic to the US stood at 20.691 million kilograms. From the forecast, there is a consistent, yet slight, decline observed from 2024 to 2028. Year-on-year, volumes decrease modestly, averaging a reduction of approximately 0.09% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is negative, indicating a very gradual contraction in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in domestic production capacity, shifts in international trade policies, and evolving fashion industry demands which could impact import volumes. Sustainability trends could also influence material preferences and import needs. Monitoring global economic factors will be crucial for determining future import dynamics.
