The forecast for fermented beverage losses in China from 2024 to 2028 remains steady at 56.0 thousand metric tons each year. This consistent value indicates no expected year-on-year variation in losses, highlighting a stable trend. In 2023, the actual losses were comparable, suggesting no significant change expected in the short term.

Looking ahead, several future trends could impact this forecast:

Increased consumer interest in health and wellness may drive a shift towards products with perceived health benefits, potentially affecting production volumes.
Possible regulatory changes in China's beverage industry could influence market dynamics and loss projections.
Technological advancements in fermentation processes might improve efficiency, reducing waste and losses over time.
