In 2023, the US chlorine import value was estimated at $20.750 million. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline in import values, with a steep downward trend from $19.322 million in 2024 to $9.3689 million by 2028. The year-on-year percentage variations indicate a significant reduction, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period resulting in a negative growth rate, reflecting decreasing US reliance on chlorine imports.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in domestic chlorine production capabilities, changes in environmental regulations, and technological advancements that might influence chlorine demand and supply dynamics. The diversification into alternative materials could also impact import needs.
