In 2023, the import of polyester yarn mixed mainly or solely with cotton to China stood at approximately 11.78 million kilograms. The forecast for 2024 begins a gradual decline in imports, with values projected to decrease from 11.639 million kilograms in 2024 down to 11.005 million kilograms by 2028.
The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 shows a decrease of approximately 1.41%, while the trend continues with decreases of roughly 1.39% on average per year through 2028. This suggests an annual compound average growth rate (CAGR) of about -1.37% over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in China's textile industry dynamics such as advancements in polyester yarn technology, increased domestic production, and changes in demand for cotton-blend products. These factors could significantly impact import volumes and market strategies in the coming years.
