The import of unbleached coniferous chemical wood pulp of soda or sulphate to China is forecasted to consistently increase from 856.41 million kilograms in 2024 to 932.08 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023's volume, this represents a projected steady growth. The year-on-year growth rates are approximately 2.28% in 2025, 2.18% in 2026, 2.09% in 2027, and 2.01% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is expected to reflect a moderate upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations on China's pulp import strategy, technological advancements in pulp production, and potential shifts in global demand due to alternatives in packaging and paper production. These factors could influence both the volume and value of imports beyond current forecasts.
