In 2023, China imported an estimated level of unbleached non-coniferous chemical wood pulp of soda or sulphate, serving as the baseline for the forecasted increases. Between 2024 and 2028, the import volume is anticipated to grow from 23.185 million kilograms to 27.155 million kilograms. The year-on-year growth rates illustrate a consistent increase, reflecting an approximate compound annual growth rate over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential adjustments in international trade policies that could impact supply chains.
Technological advancements in pulp processing that may influence supply and demand dynamics.
Environmental regulations and sustainability concerns potentially altering production and sourcing strategies.
