In 2024, the import of tableware and kitchenware made of porcelain or china in Brunei is forecasted at 124.89 thousand kilograms, declining progressively to 94.99 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a consistent decrease over these forecasted years, with a noticeable negative year-on-year variation suggesting a downturn trend. For context, the import volume or value in 2023 stood higher, initiating this downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of changing consumer preferences towards sustainable materials which may affect porcelain or china demand.
- Potential trade policy changes or tariffs that could influence import volumes.
- The influence of economic conditions in Brunei which could alter spending on imported luxury goods such as porcelain tableware.
