In 2023, the import of oysters to China stood at approximately 4.3 million kilograms. The forecast indicates a steady increase from 4.4634 million kilograms in 2024 to 5.1884 million kilograms in 2028. Year-on-year, this represents a growth of roughly 4% to 5% each year. When aggregated over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be around 4.2%.

Trends to watch for include:

Increasing demand for sustainable seafood in China, which could influence growth rates positively.
Potential impacts of environmental factors and regulations affecting oyster farming and imports.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards more or less seafood consumption due to health and economic factors.
