The forecast for the import of residues of starch manufacture to China indicates a gradual decline from $13.716 million in 2024 to $12.361 million by 2028. This implies a consistent negative trend. From the data, a year-on-year reduction is observable, indicating that the imports of these residues are diminishing over time. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period highlights an average decline per year, reinforcing a steady downward trend that began in the years preceding 2023.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts in domestic production capabilities in China, potentially reducing import reliance.
Changes in global market demand or prices affecting the economic viability of imports.
Possible innovations in alternative materials or substitutes for starch residues.
Policy or regulatory adjustments impacting trade and import dynamics in China.
