In 2023, the re-import of hydrogen fluoride (hydrofluoric acid) to China stood at approximately 2.17 million kilograms. Based on forecast data, a year-on-year increase is observed for each subsequent year up to 2028. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent growth trend in re-import values, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period forecasted. The increasing demand in industrial applications, particularly in electronics and chemicals, contributes to this upwards trend.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in hydrogen fluoride usage, environmental regulatory changes impacting import policies, and domestic production shifts which may alter re-import needs. Monitoring these factors will be essential for understanding long-term trends.
