In 2023, the US imported arsenic metal amounting to approximately 1.00 thousand metric tons. Forecasts indicate a steady upward trend in imports, beginning with 1.02 thousand metric tons in 2024, advancing to 1.08 thousand metric tons by 2028. This corresponds to a year-on-year increase of about 2% from 2024 to 2025, and a slightly lower growth rate is observed annually thereafter. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period is modest, demonstrating consistent but limited growth in arsenic imports.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in arsenic recycling or substitute materials, which may affect import levels. Additionally, regulatory changes, shifts in domestic production capabilities, or geopolitical factors could significantly influence future import trends.
