In 2023, China re-imported book-binding machinery weighing 250 thousand kilograms. Starting in 2024, forecasts predict a consistent upward trend in re-import volumes, with expected values reaching 324.27 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate from 2024 to 2025 is 5.28%, and 4.90% from 2025 to 2026. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 3.45%, reflecting steady growth in demand. This growth can be attributed to China's expanding publishing and printing industry, supported by technological upgrades and automation trends.
Future trends to watch include the impact of digital transformation on traditional book-binding needs and possible policy changes affecting import tariffs. Additionally, increased focus on sustainability could drive innovations in machinery, influencing re-import volumes and industry practices.
