The forecast for the re-import of aromatic alcohols to China indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the volume is expected to be at 2.05 thousand kilograms, decreasing progressively to 1.2 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change highlights a steady decrease with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period suggesting a downward trend. As of 2023, these forecasts present a significant decline compared to the previous actual figures.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in China's domestic production capacity, potentially reducing reliance on imports.
Changes in international trade policies affecting the supply chain of aromatic alcohols.
Innovations in synthetic alternatives that might reduce the demand for imports.
