The forecast for the import of articles of plaster (other than plasterboard) to the US reveals a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at $26.929 million and decreasing to $25.557 million by 2028. This declining trend suggests a negative compound annual growth rate over the forecast period. In 2023, the actual import value stood at approximately similar levels as 2024, indicating a consistent downward trajectory highlighting challenges in the import market for these goods.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of trade policies and tariffs on import costs.
Shifts in domestic demand for plaster products due to housing and construction trends.
Technological advancements in alternative materials that may impact import needs.
