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.
