In 2023, the re-import of articles of plaster other than plasterboard to China was observed at approximately the same volume as forecasted for 2024, indicating stable interest in this market segment. From 2024 onwards, the volume is projected to decrease slightly each year, from 21.93 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 21.81 thousand kilograms by 2028. This determines an overall downward trend, showcasing minimal contraction in import volume, approximately 0.14% annually, reflecting a stagnant or slightly regressing demand over the forecast period.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Environmental policies influencing production and import strategies.
- Technological advancements in construction materials potentially reducing reliance on plaster imports.
- Economic factors affecting construction and infrastructure development in China.
