The import of cadmium to the US demonstrates a declining trend from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, actual cadmium imports stood at approximately 1.309 million US Dollars. From 2024 to 2025, the value is forecasted to decrease by approximately 2.8%, with similar year-on-year declines thereafter, including a 2.9% decrease from 2025 to 2026 and a 2.9% decrease from 2026 to 2027. Notably, between 2027 and 2028, the decrease is projected at 2.9%. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) across these five years is projected to exhibit a steady, declining import trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations in global cadmium prices, regulatory changes affecting cadmium importation, and shifts in US industrial demand, particularly in sectors such as battery production, electronics, and overlay coatings that significantly utilize cadmium. Monitoring these factors could significantly influence the forecasted values and growth rates.
