The import forecast for supported catalysts, excluding nickel or precious metal compounds, to Brazil from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline. The volume is expected to gradually decrease from 1.981 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.9238 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year decline of approximately 0.74% annually over this period. In 2023, the import volume stood at 2.0 million kilograms, which marks a slight reduction already anticipated in the forecast.
Future trends to watch for include potential market disruptions from emerging technologies that may impact demand. Changes in global supply chains and environmental regulations could also influence the future of catalyst imports in Brazil.
