In 2023, imports of raw or retted jute and other textile bast fibres into China were valued at approximately 8.0 million US dollars. From 2024 to 2028, a forecasted decline in import value is evident with a notable year-on-year decrease. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is significantly negative, indicating a substantial downward trend in China's importation of these fibres.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in synthetic alternatives that could reduce the demand for traditional bast fibres.
Shifts in government policy or trade agreements that could impact jute imports.
Changes in global supply chain conditions and pricing dynamics for natural fibres.
