The import volume of non-agglomerated metal carbides to China is forecasted to decrease steadily from 212.17 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 199.97 thousand kilograms in 2028. This reflects a consistent downtrend, anticipating a gradual reduction in imports over the five-year period. In terms of year-on-year variation, the forecast shows a declining trend with a slight annual decrease.
- The year-on-year variation between 2024 and 2025 is approximately -1.5%.
- Similarly, from 2025 to 2026, it reflects a decrease of around -1.5%.
- The decline continues at a rate of about -1.5% annually up to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of China's industrial policy shifts, technological advancements, and developments in domestic production of metal carbides. Enhanced capabilities in domestic manufacturing or shifts in global metal carbide prices could further influence import volumes.
