The secondary copper and copper-alloy production in the US is forecasted to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 713.21 thousand metric tons in 2024 and declining to 654.16 thousand metric tons by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decline of approximately 2-3%. Compared to 2023 levels, this indicates a gradual downturn in production volume. Over the projected period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average yearly decrease in production.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in global demand, recycling technology advancements, and policy regulations on metal reprocessing, which may impact the secondary copper and copper-alloy production landscape.
