The US is projected to see a steady decline in the import of unwrought copper-tin base alloys over the forecasted years from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 871.48 thousand kilograms in 2024, imports are anticipated to decrease to 691.97 thousand kilograms by 2028. This marks a continuous downward trend with a year-on-year decrease in volume of approximately 5-6% annually. Notably, this trend reveals a substantial reduction in import dependency over the forecast period, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -5.6% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in international trade policies, technological advances in alternative materials, and domestic production capabilities. Any changes in these areas could impact the US's import volume of copper-tin base alloys.
