The forecast for the re-import of seats with metal frames that are not upholstered to China shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 179.91 thousand kilograms to 179.45 thousand kilograms. This gradual decrease signals a minimal average annual decline in volume. In 2023, the re-import volume stood at a stable level, indicating that this downward trend is starting from 2024. Given that the decrease is quite marginal, the year-on-year variation is minimal.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards new materials or styles, reducing demand for these specific metal-framed seats.
- Changes in trade policies or tariffs that might affect the cost and volume of re-imports.
- The impact of increased domestic production capability in China, which could further reduce the reliance on re-imported goods.
