In 2023, Brazil imported a certain amount of natural graphite, excluding powder or flakes. From 2024 onwards, a clear downward trend is observed in the forecasted data, with import volumes expected to decrease year-on-year. Specifically, imports are projected to decline by approximately 13.43% in 2025, 15.14% in 2026, 17.51% in 2027, and 20.90% in 2028. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates an average annual decrease in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for:
- Global demand for graphite and technological advancements in alternative materials may further impact imports.
- Brazilian domestic production could influence future import needs.
- Potential environmental regulations and shifts in strategic sourcing and supply chain dependencies may also affect import levels.
