In 2023, the import volume of automatic sewing machines, other than book-sewing, to China was approximately 2.68 million kilograms. Compared to 2024, this represents a decline of about 3.7%. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, a steady year-on-year decline in import volume is expected, with a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of -4.1%. By 2028, the import volume is forecasted to reduce to approximately 2.17 million kilograms, indicating a continued downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Diversification of local manufacturing capabilities in China, potentially reducing reliance on imports.
Technological advancements in automated sewing, impacting demand dynamics.
Global economic conditions influencing import patterns and trade policies.
Changes in the fashion and textile industry's demand for high-tech sewing solutions.
