In 2023, the actual import of lead unwrought containing mostly antimony to China stood at a certain baseline from which future forecasts are projected. Over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, the import volume shows a consistent upward trend, beginning at 21.711 million kilograms in 2024 and rising steadily each year to reach 24.778 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth rates reflect a moderate increase, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that averages the upward trend in imports over the five-year period.
Key future trends to monitor include:
- Potential trade policy changes that could affect import levels.
- Shifts in China's industrial demand for lead-containing antimony due to technological or regulatory developments.
- Fluctuations in global lead and antimony prices impacting China's import strategies.
