The import value of crude glycerol, glycerol waters, and lye to Brazil is forecasted to decline steadily over the period from 2024 to 2028, starting from $112.93 thousand USD in 2024 and decreasing to $98.58 thousand USD by 2028. In 2023, the import stood at approximately $115 thousand USD. Year-on-year percentage decreases reflect a narrowing trend in imports, highlighting a sustained reduction between 2024 and 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) across these five forecasted years signals an average yearly decline.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of global market dynamics and production efficiency improvements in domestic markets on glycerol supply and demand.
Possible shifts in industrial applications that could either curtail or stimulate further imports.
Changes in trade policies and tariffs that might affect import costs and volumes.
