In 2023, China’s re-import of cut or sawn slabs of marble, travertine, or alabaster was valued at approximately 9.55 thousand US dollars. The forecasted values for the upcoming years indicate a declining trend, with projections showing a decrease from 8.66 thousand US dollars in 2024 to 5.35 thousand US dollars in 2028. This forecast signifies a consistent year-on-year decrease in imports over this period, notably highlighting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -9.8% over five years.
Future trends to watch for involve shifts in domestic production capabilities, changes in global demand dynamics, and potential policy changes in trade or environmental regulations that may further impact the market for marble, travertine, and alabaster products in China.
