The import of imitation jewellery to the US in 2024 is projected at $499.26 million, following a declining trend to $486.32 million by 2028. This indicates a consistent gradual decrease each year. The data shows a year-on-year depreciation of approximately 0.8% starting in 2024 and an average annual decline from 2024 to 2028, reflected by a negative CAGR over the five-year period.
