The forecast for Brazil's import of aluminium powders and flakes of lamellar structure shows a declining trend starting from 2024, decreasing from 13.34 thousand kilograms to 6.24 thousand kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where imports stood at a higher volume (not provided), the year-on-year reduction from 2024 onwards reflects significant downward pressure.
Key observations include:
- 2024 exceeds the subsequent years with the highest projected imports at 13.34 thousand kilograms.
- Year-on-year decreases are consistent, with 2025 expected to fall by 13.7% from 2024, 2026 by another 15.6% from 2025, and 2027 by 18.1% from 2026.
- By 2028, imports see a steep cumulative drop, averaging a 16.7% compound annual reduction rate from 2024 levels.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities that could influence import needs, changes in global aluminum pricing, and trade policy adjustments that may impact availability and cost competitiveness.
