In 2023, China's import of crude or roughly trimmed marble and travertine stood at a significant value, serving as a baseline for future forecasts. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent downward trend is forecasted, with the import value expected to decline progressively each year. In 2025, imports are projected to decrease by approximately 6.33% from the previous year, and this trend continues with a year-on-year decline of roughly 6.58% till 2028. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) signifies a negative average annual change, reflecting a contraction in import demand.
Looking forward, key trends to monitor include China's domestic production capabilities, preference for alternative materials, and changes in trade policies. These factors could further influence the import levels of marble and travertine, potentially altering current projections.
