As of 2023, the re-import of colored, absorbent, reflective, or opaque cast glass sheet to China stood at around 2,000 thousand kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline in the re-import value, starting at 1.73 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 0.29717 thousand kilograms by 2028. This downward trend represents a year-on-year decrease, with a significant decline in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period forecasts a notable average annual contraction.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes in import regulations, shifts in domestic production capacity, and technological advancements in the glass manufacturing sector which could impact the demand for re-importing such materials.
