The import of unmanufactured, not stemmed or stripped tobacco to China is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. The data indicates a reduction from 1.0097 million kg in 2024 to 0.57343 million kg in 2028, reflecting an average annual decrease. Notably, between 2024 and 2025, a year-on-year reduction of approximately 11.1% is expected, and this trend strengthens further with a decrease of about 10.9% in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period shows a declining rate of approximately 12.9%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in tobacco import policies, changes in domestic tobacco production, and evolving consumer preferences impacting demand for raw tobacco materials in China, potentially accelerating the forecasted decline or stabilizing imports.
