The import of ceramic housewares, excluding porcelain or china, to Nepal is projected to rise consistently from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 162.95 thousand kilograms in 2024, it is forecasted to increase steadily each year, reaching 188.45 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 3.85% from 2024 to 2025, continuing a similar trend throughout the period. In 2023, the volume of imports stood lower than in 2024, underscoring a positive shift in demand.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is anticipated to reflect this steady upward trajectory. As the market expands, future trends to watch for include:
- Increased domestic consumption influenced by rising disposable incomes.
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards more diverse ceramic designs and utilities.
- The impact of trade policies and local production capabilities on import volumes.
