The forecast for the re-import of sterols and inositols to China shows a continual decline from 770.61 kilograms in 2024 to 425.12 kilograms by 2028. This trend represents a significant year-on-year decrease averaging around 14.4% annually from 2024 through 2028. Compared to 2023, when re-imports stood at a higher volume, the diminishing pattern reflects a notable drop over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

Substitution by alternative local sources could be causing the decline.
Increasing scrutiny on international trade practices and potential trade policies changes.
Expanding domestic production capacities may further reduce import reliance.
