In 2023, China's demand for potatoes stood at approximately 90 million metric tons. The forecasted demand for 2024 is about 90.05 million metric tons, indicating a very modest increase. Year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 is consistently beneath 0.10%, with anticipated demand reaching 90.22 million metric tons by 2028. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to be negligible, signifying a largely stable demand.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in dietary habits that may impact potato consumption. Additionally, changes in domestic agricultural policies or developments in potato processing technologies could influence demand dynamics over the longer term.
