The import of polyvinyl chloride waste or scrap to the US is anticipated to show nominal growth from 2024 to 2028. The volume is projected to grow from 18.206 million kilograms in 2024 to 18.762 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to a baseline year of 2023, a consistent annual increase of around 0.8% is observed year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate over this forecast period stands at approximately 0.75%.

Future trends to watch for:

Environmental policies may increasingly impact imports as the US moves towards stricter recycling and waste management regulations.
Technological advancements may reduce the demand for imported waste by increasing domestic recycling capabilities.
Global market dynamics, such as supply chain disruptions or changes in key trading partner regulations, could alter the import patterns of polyvinyl chloride waste.
