In 2024, the import forecast for live pure-bred breeding bovine animals to the US is projected to be 3.5 thousand. The decline seen from 2025 to 2028 suggests a consistent, slight reduction each year, with a 2023 comparison required for more context. Assuming a historical pattern similar to 2024 forecasts, the import value for 2023 would likely be slightly higher than 3.5 thousand.
Year-on-year percentage changes point to a negligible decrease each year from 2024 onwards, culminating in a five-year CAGR that indicates a gentle downward trend in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in US agricultural policy impacting breeding imports.
- Shifts in demand for breeding stock in the livestock industry.
- Emerging technologies in breeding programs that might influence import needs.
