The import of waste or scrap of paper and paperboard of mechanical pulp to China is expected to decrease from 3.1083 billion kilograms in 2024 to 2.6036 billion kilograms by 2028. Compared to the 2023 figures, this signifies a trend of declining imports. The year-on-year variation shows a gradual decrease, with values shrinking consistently each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period indicates a steady decline, reflecting a consistent drop in China's demand or supply constraints for waste paper imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes in waste import policies, advancements in domestic recycling capabilities, and global market shifts in waste paper availability. Additionally, changes in global demand for recycled paper products could impact these projections.
