The import of reciprocating spark ignition engines with a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cc to the US shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 onwards. In 2023, the value was higher than any subsequent forecasted figures. According to the forecasts, there is a significant year-on-year decrease from 2024 to 2028, reflecting a substantial contraction in import values. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average negative growth per year over this five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards electric or alternative vehicles, potentially reducing demand for small spark ignition engines.
Changes in regulatory policies regarding emissions and engine standards impacting import volumes.
Technological advancements that could alter production and import dynamics.
