In 2023, the import of bar, rod, and profiles of copper-zinc base alloys to the US stood at 17 million kilograms. The forecast for 2024 through 2028 indicates a steady decline, with values decreasing each year: 16.632, 16.125, 15.627, 15.14, and 14.662 million kilograms, respectively. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 3% starting from 2024. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decrease of around 3.6%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in demand for copper-zinc alloys due to changes in manufacturing and construction sectors.
Impact of international trade policies and tariffs on import volumes.
Technological advancements that might influence material substitutions or improved recycling techniques.
Global economic conditions and their effect on the industry's supply chain dynamics.
