The forecast for the import of zinc powders and flakes into the US shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The data indicates a reduction from 11.624 million kilograms in 2024 to 11.242 million kilograms in 2028. This represents approximately a 0.9% year-on-year decrease over each forward-looking year. Comparing this with the data from 2023, where imports stood slightly above the forecasted values for 2024, we see a consistent downward trend. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects this trend with an average decrease each year.
