In 2023, the import volume of plastic coverings, excluding vinyl chloride, into China stood at approximately 2.62 million kilograms. Forecasts between 2024 and 2028 indicate a consistent decline, starting at 2.4628 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing annually to 1.7618 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with the period from 2024 to 2025 experiencing a reduction of approximately 7.3%, while the subsequent years show a declining trend, averaging an annual decrease of 7.9% over the entire forecast period.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative sustainable materials and the impact of China's environmental policies. Additionally, the rapid technological advancements in flooring and wall solutions could alter demand patterns, potentially stabilizing or even reversing the forecasted decline.
