The forecast for China's import of imides, excluding saccharin, shows a gradual decline from 275.88 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 267.44 thousand kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease that is consistent over the given period. Assuming the imports stood at a higher volume in 2023, the trend suggests a slow reduction in import reliance.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in domestic production capabilities to reduce import dependence.
Changes in regulatory landscapes affecting chemical imports.
Variations in global imide supply or pricing impacting China's import strategy.
