In 2023, the import value of vitrifiable transfers (decalcomanias) to the US stood at approximately $11.3 million. Forecasted data for 2024 indicates a slight decrease to $11.184 million, followed by a continued annual decline each year, with values dropping to $10.591 million by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.39% over the five-year period, highlighting a modest but consistent downward trend in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential technological advancements in printing that may reduce demand for traditional decalcomanias.
- Shift towards digital and customizable options, possibly affecting traditional import volumes.
- Trade policy changes or shifts in manufacturing bases which could impact the cost dynamics of imports.
