The forecast for China's raw sugar equivalent stock variation shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with a year-on-year decrease in stock levels. This continues the trend seen in the previous years, with 2023 stock levels already indicating a significant shortfall which appears to be deepening from 2024 onwards. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period reflects a negative trend, emphasizing a growing deficit in sugar stock volume.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of policy changes aimed at increasing domestic production or imports to address deficits.
Environmental or supply chain disruptions that may further influence the decline in sugar stocks.
Shifts in consumer demand that could alter the balance between supply needs and stock levels.
