The import forecast for frozen boneless bovine cuts to the US shows a gradual decline from 423.11 million kilograms in 2024 to 402.31 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease in volume of about 1.27% to 1.25% from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate over these five years is approximately -1.0%. In 2023, the actual import volume stood higher, indicating a consistent downward trend projected in the coming years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in US consumer demand for beef products, potentially influenced by dietary trends towards plant-based alternatives and health considerations.
- Trade policies and agreements that could impact import volumes, including tariffs or trade restrictions.
- Global supply chain disruptions or enhancements which might affect import logistics and costs.
- Market competition from alternative sources of protein, affecting beef import demand.
