The import volume of non-cellular and non-reinforced polymers of styrene sheets or films to China is forecasted to grow consistently from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 50.625 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 55.256 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the imports stood at 49.5 million kilograms. Over the two years from the actual data in 2023 to the forecasted data in 2025, there is a continuous increase, showing annual growth rates of approximately 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is about 2.18%, indicating steady import demand driven by industrial needs.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in global trade policies affecting imports.
Technological advances in alternatives that could impact styrene polymer demand.
China's domestic production capacity changes that could affect import reliance.
Economic factors influencing overall industrial growth in China.
