The re-import of dust and powder of precious or semi-precious stones to China is forecasted to decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 26.17 to 17.92 thousand US dollars. This represents an average CAGR of around -8.76% over the five-year period. Notably, there was a year-on-year decline in value of approximately 8.13% between 2024 and 2025, followed by a similar trend in the subsequent years. In 2023, the re-import value stood higher than those forecasted from 2024 onwards, indicating a contraction in the industry.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global demand for these materials, changes in China's trade policy affecting re-imports, and technological advancements in material processing that could impact market dynamics. Additionally, geopolitical factors and economic conditions worldwide could influence demand and pricing strategies in this sector.
