In 2023, the import volume of wood tar and related products to the US was approximately 15.5 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, a steady growth is anticipated, with forecasted volumes increasing from 16.29 to 19.444 million kilograms. This reflects a year-on-year growth averaging around 4.4% over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is expected to be approximately 4.5%. These figures suggest a consistent rise in demand, influenced possibly by industrial and manufacturing needs.

Future trends to watch for include:

Fluctuations in the commodity prices of these products which could impact import volumes.
Environmental policies that might affect the use and importation of these materials.
Technological advancements potentially reducing dependency on imported wood derivatives.
