Bismuth imports to the US are forecasted to increase slightly year-on-year from 2024 to 2028, starting at 3.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 and reaching 3.22 thousand metric tons by 2028. The forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is around 1.4%, reflecting a stabilized but modest growth trend compared to 2023 levels.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in industrial demand, particularly from emerging technologies or environmental regulations.
Evolution in global trade dynamics, which could impact the import levels.
Market penetration of substitutes which could curtail demand for bismuth.
