The forecast for the re-import of household, hospital, and sanitary supplies of paper to China shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The volume is expected to grow from 18.6 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 21.71 thousand kilograms in 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at 18.0 thousand kilograms, indicating a year-on-year growth of 3.33% in 2024 and with subsequent annual growth rates of approximately 4.30% in 2025, 4.02% in 2026, 3.81% in 2027, and 3.63% in 2028.
The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is expected to be around 3.86%. This indicates a consistent upward trend, likely driven by increasing domestic demand and possible shifts in local production capacity.
Future trends to watch for include fluctuations in domestic production capabilities, changes in trade policies, and potential innovations in sustainable and recyclable paper products. Additionally, monitoring economic factors that affect supply chains and demand for imported supplies in health and hygiene sectors will be crucial.
