As of 2023, the re-import of refillable pocket lighters and gas-fuelled units to China stood at an unspecified actual volume. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 predict a steady year-on-year increase, with expected volumes growing from 278.09 to 335.48 thousand kilograms. This represents an overall average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years, indicating a consistent demand. While previous variations are unavailable, the forecast highlights a positive trend with moderate growth each year.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes affecting import-export dynamics, technological innovations in product designs, and shifts in domestic production capacity, all of which could significantly influence market behavior. Monitoring global economic conditions and sustainability practices could also impact demand and supply chains.
