The forecasted data indicates a consistent increase in US raisins imports from 2024 to 2028. The imports are projected to grow from 86.42 million pounds in 2024 to 96.17 million pounds in 2028. As of 2023, imports were recorded at a slightly lower level compared to the projected figures for 2024 onwards, but specific 2023 data is not provided here to ascertain the exact growth rate.
Over the forecasted period, the year-on-year growth shows a steady increase, reflecting a rising demand or possibly reduced domestic production. This amounts to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that signifies a healthy and sustained increase in the volume of raisins imported into the US market over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in global supply chains, impact of climatic conditions on raisin production, and shifts in consumer preferences, which could influence demands and alter import volumes. Additionally, changes in trade policies might impact future import scenarios beyond 2028.
