In 2023, coke consumption in the manufacture of foods in China was approximately 4.06 ten thousand metric tons. From 2024 onwards, a slight year-on-year decline is forecasted, with consumption gradually decreasing from 4.05 to 4.01 by 2028. This represents a consistent downward trend with a marginal annual decline of around 0.5% on average over the five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in manufacturing practices that may reduce reliance on coke, influences of sustainable practices, as well as broader economic and industrial changes in China that could impact consumption patterns.
