In 2023, China's barley import stood at approximately 8.45 million metric tons. Forecasted data indicates a consistent upward trend in imports, with values increasing annually from 8.69 million metric tons in 2024 to 9.59 million metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates remain modest but steady, reflecting China's sustained demand for barley. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is indicative of a consistent upward trajectory in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences of global trade policies on imports, changes in domestic barley production affecting import demand, and shifts in consumer preferences impacting barley consumption.
