In 2023, China's imports of glass cullet, waste or scrap, and glass in the mass were valued at around 90 million US dollars. The forecast data shows a steady increase in import value, rising to 107.57 million US dollars by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate from 2024 to 2028 is consistent, highlighting an overall upward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is indicative of a moderate but sustained increase, reflecting China's growing need for recycled glass materials.

Future trends to watch for:

China's environmental policies may further drive the demand for recycled materials.
Market fluctuations in glass production could impact import levels.
Technological advancements in glass recycling could alter import dynamics.
Global economic conditions may influence trade flows and pricing.
