Forecast: Import of Powders of Alloy Steel to China

The import of powders of alloy steel to China is projected to rise steadily from 2024 to 2028, with volumes expected to increase from 72.496 million kilograms in 2024 to 83.7 million kilograms in 2028. This continuous growth pattern reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period. The year-on-year increase is a clear indication of the rising demand, maintaining a consistent upward trend. In 2023, imports stood at a volume slightly less than the forecasted figures for 2024, marking the beginning of this growth trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Potential fluctuations in global alloy steel prices that could impact import volumes.
• Technological advancements in the industry that may alter demand for specific types of alloy steel powders.
• Economic factors in China that could influence industrial demand and import policies.
• Environmental regulations that might affect production and consumption patterns.
