The forecast for China's import of diols, excluding ethylene and propylene glycol, shows a steady increase from 2024 through 2028. The volume is expected to rise from 219.44 million kilograms in 2024 to 231.88 million kilograms by 2028. This demonstrates a consistent upward trend with year-on-year increases of approximately 1.5% annually. In 2023, the actual import volume stood at a slightly lower level, signaling anticipated growth in the upcoming years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global demand for diols that may impact import volumes.
- Changes in regulatory or trade policies affecting chemical imports.
- Supply chain dynamics and raw material availability influencing import trends.
