The import forecast of fresh or chilled bovine carcasses and half carcasses for the US from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline. The expected values begin at 3.5943 million kilograms in 2024, decreasing steadily each year to 3.4536 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where imports stood at a higher volume, this trend reveals a consistent negative year-on-year change of around 1%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects an average annual decline in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in trade policies, consumer preferences for meat alternatives, and any shifts in domestic beef production that may impact import levels.
