The import of waste of synthetic fibers to the US is projected to steadily increase from 2024 through 2028, with values rising from 11.426 million kilograms in 2024 to 11.456 million kilograms in 2028. In 2023, imports stood at 11.419 million kilograms, indicating a minor year-on-year percentage increase each successive year. This consistent upward trajectory results in a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that reflects modest growth in imports. Year-over-year variations are slight, showcasing stability in the import levels.
Future trends to watch include the impact of sustainable practices and recycling technologies, which could alter the volume of imported waste synthetic fibers. Additionally, changes in trade policies and global demand for synthetic fibers could further influence import patterns.
