In 2023, the import of sterols and inositols to China was recorded at approximately 1.8 million kilograms. Forecast data from 2024 onward predicts a steady increase in import volume, with projections rising to 2.1684 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year growth is expected to range from around 4% to 5%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.68% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028. This suggests a consistent upward trend in demand for sterols and inositols in China.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of evolving dietary supplement markets and rising health awareness among Chinese consumers, potentially driving demand for sterols and inositols.
- Trade agreements and policies that could affect the import landscape and cost dynamics.
- Technological advancements in production and new applications for these compounds that could influence demand.
