The import of non-cellular, non-reinforced ethylene polymer sheets and films into China is forecasted to grow from 205.05 million kilograms in 2024 to 221.99 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a consistent positive year-on-year growth trajectory with incremental increases each year. From 2024 to 2025, the import volume is expected to rise by approximately 2.13%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period of five years stands at a steady 1.6%. In 2023, the import volume was considerably below 205.05 million kilograms, marking a noticeable upward trend starting in 2024.
Future trends to watch include the impacts of global supply chain dynamics, changes in China's domestic production capacity, and evolving demand in industries dependent on polymers of ethylene. Additionally, trade policies and environmental regulations may further influence import patterns going forward.
