The import of natural gum, resin, gum-resin, and balsam to the US is projected to decrease steadily from 2.7297 million kilograms in 2024 to 2.1623 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to the volume in 2023, which was a critical reference point, this represents a continuous negative trend. The year-on-year percentage variation is a decrease, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years reflects a declining import trend, influenced by factors such as domestic production capabilities and shifts in demand.
Future trends to watch for include changes in global supply chain dynamics, environmental regulations that may impact resin sourcing, and technological advancements in synthetic alternatives which could further reduce reliance on natural imports.
