In 2023, the import value of fortified wine or must to the US was $5.24 billion. The forecasted data for 2024-2028 shows a consistent year-on-year increase, with values reaching $5.7543 billion by 2028. This indicates a stable growth trend, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period. The year-to-year percentage increase demonstrates a modest yet steady rise, reflecting the demand driven by consumer preferences and market dynamics.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of changing consumer preferences towards premium and exotic wine varieties.
Potential trade policy shifts affecting import tariffs and trade agreements.
The influence of economic factors such as inflation and exchange rates on import costs and consumer spending.
Evolving sustainability practices in the wine production industry, potentially affecting import preferences.
