In 2023, the import of shelled walnuts to China stood at 2.4116 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, projections indicate a modest annual decline of approximately 2% as imports are forecasted to decrease from 2.3613 million kilograms in 2024 to 2.1661 million kilograms by 2028. The CAGR over the forecast period, from 2024 to 2028, suggests a slight annual decline of around 2% in the volume of imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential changes in import tariffs and trade policies could significantly influence these forecasts.
Domestic walnut production levels might increase, reducing the need for imports.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards health and wellness products could alter walnut consumption patterns.
