In 2023, the US imported an estimated volume of refined maize oil and fractions at a higher level than forecasted for the future. From 2024 onward, predictions indicate a steady decline in import volumes through 2028. Specifically, the year-on-year percentages reflect a gradual reduction: a decrease of 0.86% from 2024 to 2025, 0.85% from 2025 to 2026, 0.84% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.83% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for these years is negative, highlighting a consistent decrease in the import of this commodity.

Looking ahead, factors influencing these downward trends are:

Potential domestic production increases, reducing reliance on imports.
Fluctuations in global supply chains and trade policies affecting maize oil availability and pricing.
Consumer preferences shifting toward alternative oils or domestic products.
