In 2023, the import of not carded or combed staple fibers of polyesters to China stood at a specific volume as a reference point for forecasts. From 2024 to 2028, forecasted imports by volume are projected to decline modestly from approximately 157.68 million kilograms to around 148.01 million kilograms. This represents a gradual decrease reflecting an average annual contraction rate through the period.
Key observations include:
- 2024 to 2025 is expected to experience a small decline of approximately 1.58% in import volumes year-over-year.
- A continued decrease is projected, maintaining a consistent downward trend through 2028.
- The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, indicating a steady reduction over the period.
Future trends to watch for include changes in global trade policies, domestic production capacity adjustments, and potential shifts in the textile and manufacturing industries that could influence import necessities differently. Environmental policy shifts and technological advancements in fiber production could also impact future import volumes.
