The forecast for re-import of prepared or preserved molluscs and shellfish to China indicates a steady annual increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 159.1 thousand kilograms in 2024 and rising to 173.77 thousand kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the actual import volume was lower, indicating a consistent growth trend. The anticipated year-on-year growth rate for the period 2024-2028 averages around 2.25%. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be approximately 2.25%, suggesting a stable demand and importation trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and traceable seafood, which may impact demand. Additionally, global trade policies and China's domestic seafood production and consumption trends could influence re-import volumes.
