The length of standard waterways in China is forecasted to remain constant at 67,200 kilometers from 2024 to 2028. As it stood at the same level in 2023, there is zero percent year-on-year variation, suggesting stability in China's waterway infrastructure development over the forecast period. The stability in waterway length implies no compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential investments in digital and smart waterway technologies to enhance efficiencies.
Monitoring of environmental policies that could impact waterway maintenance and expansion.
Impact of economic conditions on infrastructure investments and possible expansion projects.
