In 2023, the import of supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds as the active substance to the US stood at an actual value of 8.088 million kilograms. The forecasted data indicates a steady increase from 8.118 million kilograms in 2024 to 8.2357 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a minor but consistent year-on-year growth, averaging around 0.1% annually. The cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period suggests a slight upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include global shifts in nickel supply and demand dynamics, potential changes in US import regulations, and technological advancements that could affect the use and production of nickel-based catalysts. These factors could influence import volumes and market stability in the coming years.
