The import volume of plates and film with any side exceeding 255 mm to Brazil is expected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 4.2357 million kilograms and declining to 3.8166 million kilograms. This trend indicates a gradual reduction in imports by approximately 2.5% year-on-year, pointing to a slowing demand or possible shifts towards local production or alternative materials.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements that may alter the demand for traditional plates and films.
Changes in international trade policies that could affect import volumes.
Potential increase in competitiveness of local manufacturers impacting import needs.
