The import forecast for activated natural mineral products, animal black, into China shows a slight year-on-year decrease from 2024 through 2028, starting at 11.599 million kilograms in 2024 and gradually reducing to 11.491 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a consistent downward trend with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) pointing to a minor but steady decline. In contrast, the 2023 data is not provided, limiting an understanding of the transition into this forecast period specifically.

Future trends to watch for include:

Emerging alternatives and substitutes in industrial applications that could impact demand.
China's evolving environmental regulations potentially affecting import consistency of mineral-based inputs.
Trade policies and economic conditions that may influence global supply chains and import dynamics.
