The forecast for the importation of lead unwrought containing mostly antimony shows an upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The volume is expected to increase annually, starting at 48.856 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 52.004 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the imports stood at slightly lower volumes, this represents a steady year-on-year growth.

The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is indicative of a healthy demand for this material, reflecting a consistent average growth per year. However, year-on-year variations could be driven by shifts in industrial demand or changes in import regulations.

Future trends to watch for include:

Global economic conditions influencing industrial production.
Changes in trade policies between the US and lead-exporting countries.
Technological advancements impacting the demand for antimony-rich lead products.
Environmental regulations affecting production and usage.
